Rehearsing Revolutions: The Labor Drama Experiment and Radical Activism in the Early Twentieth Century

Meer over het boek

Set between the world wars, this book explores the emergence of labor colleges in the US, which aimed to educate union members while promoting their causes. A significant focus of these institutions was their drama programs, which played a crucial role in the educational experience. Mary McAvoy delves into how these theatrical endeavors not only fostered skills but also served as a means of indoctrination and community building among workers.
