Book TV: Jefferson Cowie, "Stayin' Alive: The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class"

Jefferson Cowie, associate history professor at Cornell University, examines working class America during the 1970s. The author posits that the American working class and unionized labor were a great focus of American politics and of cultural relevance at the the start of the decade, only to essentially disappear ten years later. Mr. Cowie documents the working class throughout the decade, from the White House's relationship with the labor movement to the portrayal of the working class in films, Saturday Night Fever, television All in the Family, and music, Merle Haggard and Bruce Springsteen. Jefferson Cowie discusses his book at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
