" Archie Green: The Making of a Working-Class Hero celebrates one of the most revered
folklorists and labor historians of the twentieth century. Devoted to understanding
the diverse cultural customs of working people, Archie Green (1917-2009) tirelessly
documented these traditions and educated the public about the place of workers' culture
and music in American life. Doggedly lobbying Congress for support of the American
Folklife Preservation Act of 1976, Green helped establish the American Folklife Center
at the Library of Congress, a significant collection of images, recordings, and written
accounts that preserve the myriad cultural productions of Americans. Capturing the
many dimensions of Green's remarkably influential life and work, Sean Burns draws
on extensive interviews with Green and his many collaborators to examine the intersections
of radicalism, folklore, labor history, and worker culture with Green's work. Burns
closely analyzes Green's political genealogy and activist trajectory while illustrating
how he worked to open up an independent political space on the American Left that
was defined by an unwavering commitment to cultural pluralism"
