Y eut-il jamais une voie belge au socialisme? En d’autres termes, l’eurocommunisme fut-il la grande occasion ratée d’adapter aux conditions d’un pays occidental développé la doctrine qui avait enflammé les bolcheviks russes?

ALESSANDRO SCHIAVI - SCRITTI E CARTEGGI
I maintain a site I call "History at the Department of Labor" ("History@DOL" for short). It focuses on the Department but also deals with labor history. For example, it includes the full text of the Department's 1976 book, The American Worker, a history written by distinguished academic labor historians for the national Bicentennial. There are also articles from the Department's Monthly Labor Review, a few conference papers (mine), historical documents by or about the Department, and much more.
