Carol Quirke focuses on images ignored by scholars but seen by millions of Americans in the news of the day. Part visual analysis, part labor and cultural history, Quirke analyzes over one hundred photographs: stereographs of the Uprising of 1877, tabloid photos of the 1919 strike wave, photo-essays in the nationally popular \u003cem\u003eLIFE Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, and even photos taken by a union camera club. Quirke anchors her interpretations in a lively historical narrative that takes readers from Washington D.C. hearings, to small towns in Indiana and Pennsylvania, to local union halls and to New York City boardrooms. Illuminating why unions, employers, and news\u003cbr\u003epublishers vied to represent workers with the camera's eye, \u003cem\u003eEyes on Labor\u003c\/em\u003e explores how Americans understood the complex and contradictory portrait of labor they produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891097223319,"sku":"9780199768226","price":15725.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199768226.webp?v=1781182361","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/eyes-on-labor-news-photograpy-and-americas-working-class-9780199768226","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
