New wine in old bottles: rethinking American exceptionalism -- "A new power and a new world": the Seattle General Strike, 1919 -- "To organize and control the job": the San Francisco General Strike, 1934 -- Explaining general strikes: the instrumentality of culture -- The making of moral certitude: institutions, identities, and resonance
How Many Machine Guns Does It Take to Cook One Meal? explores the cultural forces that shaped two pivotal events affecting the entire West Coast: the 1919 Seattle General Strike and the 1934 San Francisco General Strike. In contrast to traditional approaches that downplay culture or focus on the role of socialists or communists, Victoria Johnson shows how strike participants were inspired by distinctly American notions of workplace democracy that can be traced back to the political philosophies of Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine. --From publisher's description
