Workers United: Intersectionality and Labor

NAOMI R WILLIAMS received her PhD from the History Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her primary research interests include labor and working-class history, urban history and politics, gender and women, race and politics, and, more broadly, social and economic movements of working people. Naomi’s primary focus is on late capitalism at the end of the twentieth century and workers’ role in shaping US political economy. Currently, she is revising a book manuscript, tentatively titled “Workers United: Race, Labor, and Coalition Building in Deindustrialized America,” on the transformation of class identity and politics in the second half of the twentieth century.
