The book's conclusions are based on two previously unexploited archival sources — the papers of the eigh- teenth-century civil courts and the records kept by French corporate labor exchanges — and together they have been used to reveal divisions of labor, patterns of employment, forms of legal argument, and types of institution and belief that contradict many established images of artisan production. In this pioneering study that links working-class culture patterns to political ideologies, Nelson acknowledges the major agitational role of the Communist party on the waterfront, but demonstrates that the key to the marine workers' militancy was an occupational subculture rooted in isolation, harsh exploitation, and the cosmopolitan dimen-sions of seafaring life. "A vivid, resourceful study. . .. In his riveting portraits of the longshoremen's leader Harry Bridges and of the sailor's federation president Harry Lundeberg, Nelson dissects the complex political and social forces that divided their followers and made these militant unionists bitter ideological enemies." — Nelson Lichtenstein, Illustrated. it, a across a remarkable range of primary and materials."
