ILHA Book of the Year Award 2012 to _The Production of Difference_ by David R. Roediger and Elizabeth D. Esch

The International Labor History Association (ILHA) is pleased to announce the ILHA Book of the Year Award for 2012. The volume, The Production of Difference, published by Oxford University Press (2012), is by David R. Roediger and Elizabeth D. Esch. Covering the period 1830-1930 while offering a series of case studies, the book examines race management, with a transnational trajectory. Roediger and Esch locate a key fulcrum implemented by U.S. managers of labor, including slave owners, to enhance profits and undermine labor solidarity at home and abroad.
