Capitalist Humanitarianism
"Hulsether combines reportage, ethnographic research, personal narrative, and social theory to look at the ways in which the 21st-century global economic system has absorbed the very movements that seek to resist it. . . . [A] stance of constant resistance to an unjust system, even in the seeming absence of alternatives, is what Hulsether—who is a union activist as well as a teacher and scholar—calls us to take on. . . . Hulsether’s book models this approach beautifully, urging us to “write a history of the impossible” in which 'survival is not the end.'"
