Description

In November 1933, the Socialist Party of Bridgeport, Connecticut, won a stunning victory within the municipal election, putting slate roofer Jasper McLevy within the mayor’s seat and nearly winning keep an eye on of town council. In probing the standards that led to this electoral victory and its continuation, Cecelia Bucki uncovers a legacy of activist unionism, business manipulation of local politics and taxes, and a growing debate over the general public good that exposed how working other people viewed their government and their very own roles as citizens. A backdrop to the evolving national developments of the New Deal, this study stands on the intersection of political, labor, and ethnic history and provides a new point of view on how working other people affected urban politics within the interwar era.
