The social and political philosophy of anarchism has had a long history
with labor movements and unions since the beginnings of the Industrial
Revolution. This relationship has continued and persisted throughout the
20th Century--in one form or another--to today. 'Working USA: The
Journal of Labor and Society' is soliciting submissions for a special
issue on anarchism, labor unions, and working people. Submissions may be
contemporary or historical in nature, may be case studies or more
theoretical pieces, and may range over any geographical space (including
any international cultural, country, or regional focus).

Possible topics for submission may include the following:

* Anarchist organizing with unions
* Working class anarchism
* Post-left anarchism
* Revolutionary syndicalism / Anarcho-syndicalism
* Anarchism's relationship towards both the economy and the environment
* Anarchism and workl
Proposals are welcome and are due by December 1, 2008. Manuscript
submissions are due February 1, 2009. Essays should be within the range
of 4,000 to 7,000 words in length, although editors will consider
shorter or longer manuscripts on a case by case basis. Articles may also
be published in a forthcoming edited volume.
