Peer reviewedJenkins, J. Craig; Perrow, Charles – American Sociological Review, 1977
Contrasts "the unsuccessful attempt to organize farm workers by the National Farm Labor Union from 1946 to 1952 with the strikingly successful one of the United Farm Workers from 1965 to 1972." Argues that "the difference between the two challenges was the societal response that insurgent demands received." (Author/JM)

Peer reviewedMarsh, Clifton E. – Phylon, 1981
An examination of socioeconomic conditions and political status of the Black community in the Virgin Islands after emancipation supports the contention that the "Fireburn" uprising of 1878 was not a riot but a labor revolt. The revolt resulted in flexible labor contracts, land-buying terms, and unions for working-class Blacks. (ML)
