Bøger af Richard A. Brisbin

The miners' strike against Pittston Coal in 1989-1990, which spread throughout southwestern Virginia, southern West Virginia, and eastern Kentucky, was one of the most important strikes in the history of American labour. In A Strike like No Other Strike, Richard Brisbin offers a compelling study of the exercise of political power.

Offers the only recent study of politics in the Mountain State. Combining new empirical information about political behaviour with a close examination of the capacity of the state's government, this second edition is a comprehensive and pointed study of the ability of the state's government to respond to the needs of a largely rural and relatively low-income population.
