“…14 To their credit, Dawley and Trotter recognize that race "is about kinship, courtship, recreation, education, and who marries whom -in short, social reproduction". 15 Martha Hodes more recently has asserted: "the history of racial categories is often a history of sexuality as well". 16 Indeed, race itself is gendered.…”

“…12 US labor historians have addressed "the intersections of race and class, racial segmentation of the labor market, and the impact of race on culture and community", Alan Dawley and Joe William Trotter, Jr previously explained. 13 With theories of social constructionism discrediting biological explanations for racial difference, the historicizing of race in a period of multiculturalism has framed this burgeoning literature. "White" not only developed in relationship to the category "black", but definitions of "white" have changed over time and place.…”

This 1999 Supplement of the International Review of Social History focuses on complicating central concepts in the understanding of economic and social history: class, gender, race and ethnicity. In concentrating on industrial workers, their politics, and institutions, labor and working-class history had tended to ignore gender, race, and ethnicity as discursive and material forces. It discussed the woman or black or immigrant worker as a subset of worker, assumed to be male, white, and of the dominant national or ethnic group. Only during recent years have historians began to ask how gender, race, and ethnicity as categories of analysis change narratives of class formation and working-class experience. This question has become particularly salient as the European Union and the United States seek to grapple with the human consequences of colonial and imperialist legacies both within and beyond national boundaries in an increasingly global economy.

It would be tempting to see the late Alan Dawley as an intellectual product of the 1960s, a decade that has attracted considerable attention among historians and that shaped the political and intellectual preoccupations of a generation. To be sure, Dawley played a part in that era's social-protest movement that shaped his career as a scholar-activist. Katy Weschler Dawley spoke recently of a young man “with a purpose,” who “became committed to achieve goals of justice, civil-rights and antiwar movements.” These were indeed abiding commitments that would have made the separation of activism and scholarship difficult for any historian, and there is no doubt that Dawley was such a writer driven at the outset by political ideals.
