Labor Pains significantly expands Popular Front scholarship and is rewarding reading specially for students of southern and African American literature.--Annette Trefzer The Southern Register

Christin Marie Taylor offers a revealing and rewarding portrait of the souls of black folk--confessed and imaginary--in the writing of the Popular Front. She breaks the mold of most earlier scholarship on US literary radicalism in her focus on a specifically southern modernism and in her shift of attention from labor representation to labor affect, from the capital-P politics to the pleasures and pains of unrecognized black work.--William J. Maxwell, author of F.B. Eyes: How J. Edgar Hoover's Ghostreaders Framed African American Literature and New Negro, Old Left: African-American Writing and Communism Between the Wars Labor Pains significantly expands Popular Front scholarship and is rewarding reading specially for students of southern and African American literature.--Annette Trefzer The Southern Register
