"This is a fabulous book. As historians and social scientists return to the distributional dimensions of capitalist development, they should look closely at this anthology. It contains insightful studies of national experiences; it also lays out a template for analyzing a central institution in framing class conflict in the modern age: labor courts and the struggle for justice and recognition. This is a wonderful example of connected and comparative history." --Jeremy Adelman, author of Worldly Philosopher: The Odyssey of Albert O. Hirschman "Labor Justice across the Americas can help us to learn from past struggles to think creatively about new ideas for effective labor justice. It is a unique book that deserves to be read by labor historians, legal historians, labor advocates, and quixotic dreamers who want to keep a toe on the ground." --New Labor Forum “An important and necessary first step in assessing the role of the law in twentieth-century capital-labor relations, a valuable contribution greatly enhanced by its comparative focus." --Hispanic American Historical Review "Highly recommended." --Choice "An ambitious transnational project developed around a specialized body of knowledge, this volume has many great strengths. This book artfully presents side-by-side national histories within their hemispheric context and points us toward a sophisticated neo-Boltonian hemispheric labor history founded on deeply researched national case studies." --Labor
