Mutual Aid and Union Renewal presents a strong case that unions have essentially lost the battle for the hearts and minds of the rank and file. The core of the problem, as Bacharach and colleagues argue, is that American labor no longer commands legitimacy from its membership. . . . Mutual Aid and Union Renewal draws creatively on labor's past to address its possible future. It is a fresh and original perspective, sure to stimulate considerable discussion and debate over the direction of American labor in the critical years ahead. Howard Kimeldorf, University of Michigan, Contemporary Sociology, November 2002

In a set of scenarios that offer a sharp contrast to the vision of the collapse of community, the authors describe in splendid detail the emergence and revitalization of the logic of mutual aid in the labor movement. In so doing, they also challenge the dominant perception of the slow and painful demise of the American labor movement. -Paul M. Roman, University of Georgia, Administrative Science Quarterly, March 2003
