Class, Culture, Representation

Week 2 Day 1 Discussion Question 3

| 0 comments

One of your readings for Monday includes testimony by Harlan strikers who were assaulted, intimidated, and even became witnesses to murders in the course of their standoff with coal company owners and their representatives.  What is your reaction to such accounts?  Do you think that anything like the circumstances that miners describe would be possible today?  Why or why not?
