The Coal Miners’ General Strike of 1949-50 and the Birth of Marxist-Humanism in the U.S.

Written by Andy Philips with a foreword by Raya Dunayevska this gives an overview of the 1949-1950 US coal strike by a participant.

The pamphlet was written in the 1980s, but covers the period when Dunayevska and CLR James were working together in the Johnson-Forest tendency just as they left the Socialist Workers Party in the context of the strike.
