Riassunto:

<p><strong>Boston 's economy has become defined by a disconcerting trend that has intensified throughout much of the United States since the 2008 recession.</strong> Economic growth now delivers remarkably few benefits to large sectors of the working class -- a phenomenon that is particularly severe for immigrants, people of color, and women. <em>Organizing for Power</em>&#160;explores this nation-wide phenomenon of "unshared growth" by focusing on Boston, a city that is famously liberal, relatively wealthy, and increasingly difficult for working people (who service the city 's needs) to actually live in.<br><br><em>Organizing for Power</em>&#160;is the only comprehensive analysis of labor and popular mobilizing in Boston today, the volume contributes to a growing body of academic and popular literature that examines urban America, racial and economic inequality, labor and immigration, and the right-wing assault on working people.</p>
