Title: | Archie Green (1917-2009): An American Always Said to Have Been 'Called to Labor' | Contributor(s): | Ryan, John S (author); Gregory, Mark (author) | Publication Date: | 2010 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/8371 | Abstract: | In the spring of 2009 there died Archie Green, the hero of the American working classes, and of all persons ever displaced, as well as of the poor and landless of this world, as of all those who have laboured long to make possible the wealth of others. He was a shipwright, union activist, labour historian, folklorist, academic, and author, a progressive optimist, and the father of the theory and practice of a new way of looking at everyday activity and experience - 'laborlore'. This is a body of knowledge that can make possible occupational involvement, solidarity between 'classes' and, in effect, a proud and engaged citizenry, with a cheerful involvement wherever varied bodies of workers come together to perform a task. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian Folklore, v.25, p. 6-8 | Publisher: | Australian Folklore Association, Inc | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 0819-0852 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200105 Organisational, Interpersonal and Intercultural Communication | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 950205 Visual Communication | HERDC Category Description: | C4 Letter of Note | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.une.edu.au/folklorejournal/ |
