A brilliant essay from Noel Ignatiev, reflecting on two decades of work and struggle in heavy industry. In every workplace, anywhere, there are "thousands, millions" of daily skirmishes that shape the field of political possibility. Can we see them? longhaulmag.com/present-dept...

In the fall of 1984, when he was a new doctoral student, Noel Ignatiev submitted an essay for an independent study. Entitled “Present Depths,” the paper surveyed the rapid and cataclysmic changes then taking place. We are proud to publish it here for the first time: longhaulmag.com/present-dept...

In issue 5, I particularly appreciated the interview with the longtime labor organizer Ellen David Friedman. Check it out here: longhaulmag.com/long-talk-fr...

I am a fan of @long-haul-mag.bsky.social! I've been reading it cover to cover since the first issue came out last year, and I've been consistently impressed with both the depth of thinking and the level engagement with the actual lives of workers of all sorts. Also, it's always beautiful!
