Praise

“The culmination of Stromquist’s lifetime of impressive scholarship on rank-and-file workers and socialist movements, Claiming the City arrives right on time as we explore the possibilities of transformation at the municipal scale. Astonishingly sweeping in its range of fine-grained case studies, the book teems with comparative insights while it traces transnational connections established by a mobile working class and internationalist commitments.”
—David Roediger

“I’m sure that Shelton Stromquist’s monumental book will have a lasting impact. It is an inspiring work by a historian of great stature on a very important, but much neglected, topic; it will certainly resonate throughout discussions of history and socialist politics.”
—Marcel van der Linden, International Institute of Social History

“This magisterial account of socialist and labor activism at the local level sweeps ambitiously across Europe, the US, Australia, and New Zealand. Shelton Stromquist eloquently unearths a global movement of ‘internationalism from below’ that transformed cities and, as well, reshaped national and global politics. Claiming the City is a magnificent achievement that vividly demonstrates the value of global labor history.”
—Julie Greene, Professor of History, University of Maryland at College Park
