Review: Lizabeth Cohen's Making a New Deal is a deep examination of how Chicago industrial workers from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds were able to unite during the Great Depression and New Deal. Cohen has written a massive sprawling narrative that leaves little un-turned about Chicago Industrial Workers from 1919 to 1939 showing how the diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds kept workers divided in a post-WWI economy inflamed by the very companies they worked for and how by the New Deal workers were able to put aside those differences to unite for better working conditions overall. Cohen is able to weave how these workers lived in their community, turned to their communities in times of need, isolated themselves and how they interacted with mass media and how industrialists were able to foster a united worker community at work through welfare-capitalism and eventually how Immigrants and African Americans began to participate in national politics by voting for the Democratic party at every level, local/city, state and federal. Overall, Cohen shows how the New Deal was made possible by the workers at the ground level. Cohen's book is a must read for anyone interested in the history of Chicago, the New Deal and labor rights. Review: A great view of how early American cities moved from local, ethnic based social networks to more governmental support systems. Also gives a great inside view using Chicago as its case study as to what an urban space looked like and how that space changed and developed based on the role of industry, unions, and the population within those spaces. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (44) | | Dimensions | 13.84 x 3.25 x 21.62 cm | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 1107431794 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1107431799 | | Item weight | 790 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 566 pages | | Publication date | 6 November 2014 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago, 1919-1939 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UXpRaCBXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***P on 10 April 2025* Lizabeth Cohen's Making a New Deal is a deep examination of how Chicago industrial workers from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds were able to unite during the Great Depression and New Deal.

Also gives a great inside view using Chicago as its case study as to what an urban space looked like and how that space changed and developed based on the role of industry, unions, and the population within those spaces. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***D on 20 January 2009* This book is an absolute labor of love! You can easily picture Chicago in the 1920's and 1930's while reading the book, and witness the ebb and flow of politics, personalities, ethnicity, and the economy. A great study of Chicago, labor relations, and humanity in Chicago between the wars. ## Frequently Bought Together - Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago, 1919–1939 (Canto Classics) - Lift Every Voice: The NAACP and the Making of the Civil Rights Movement - American Indian Stories, Legends, and Other Writings (Penguin Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/562089354-making-a-new-deal-industrial-workers-in-chicago-1919-1939](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/562089354-making-a-new-deal-industrial-workers-in-chicago-1919-1939) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
