List of copies of transcribed cassettes
Scope and Contents
The collection provides a comprehensive start to finish look at the book "David Dubinsky: A Life with Labor," that A. H. Raskin wrote with David Dubinsky in 1977. The majority of the collection consists of the complete transcriptions from the audio cassettes of Dubinsky's memoirs, titled and arranged by cassette number. Furthermore, there is the entire original manuscript of the book with hand written proofreading and editing marks. The drafts of chapters, corrections, and hand written notes help to reveal the writing process for the book. Additionally, there is collected material that supplies biographical and historical information on Dubinsky, including an article written by Raskin for "The New Leader" entitled "D.D. and the American Dream," the "Labor History" special supplement from 1968 on Dubinsky, "The Case Against David Dubinsky" by William Weinstone, an ILGWU Local 10 50th Anniversary history book, the Time Magazine August 29, 1949 issue where Dubinsky appears on the cover, and a copy of "David Dubinsky: A Pictorial Biography."
The collection also contains a copy of the unbound manuscript of "A Portrait of a Leader: A True Labor Story of a Man and an Era" by Elias Lieberman (see 6036/001).
