Abstract

This paper traces the history of the song “Bread and Roses” to examine labor culture and the role of song in the labor movement. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, “Bread and Roses” was included in several of the first generation song books produced by unions that reflected an expansive and inclusive labor culture closely connected with the Left. With the ascendance of business unionism and the blacklisting of the Left after the war, labor culture took a heavy blow, and labor songbooks became skeletons of the full-bodied versions they had once been. Unions began to see singing not as part of the process of social change but as a vehicle to bring people together, and songs such as “Bread and Roses” and other more class-based songs were jettisoned in favor of a few labor standards and American sing-along songs. “Bread and Roses” was born anew to embody a central concept in the women’s movement and rode the wave of new music, art, and film that were part of new social movements and new constituencies that challenged business unionism and reshaped union culture in the 1980s.
《面包和玫瑰》
本文追溯了《面包与玫瑰》这首歌的历史,来考察劳动文化以及歌曲在劳工运动中的作用。在20世纪30年代末和40年代初,《面包与玫瑰》被收录在工会制作的几本第一代歌曲书中,这些歌曲反映了与左翼密切相关的广泛而包容的劳工文化。战后,随着商业联合主义的兴起和左派的黑名单,劳工文化受到了沉重打击,劳工歌曲集成为了曾经的丰满版本的骨架。工会开始将唱歌视为一种工具,而不是社会变革过程的一部分,《面包与玫瑰》等歌曲和其他更基于阶级的歌曲被抛弃,取而代之的是一些劳工标准和美国人的歌曲。《面包与玫瑰》在20世纪80年代重新诞生,体现了妇女运动的一个核心概念,并顺应了新音乐、艺术和电影的浪潮,这些都是新社会运动和新选民的一部分,挑战了商业工会主义,重塑了工会文化。
