Some historians contend that conditions in the United States during the Second World War gave rise to a dynamic wartime alliance between trade unions and the African American community, an alliance that advanced the cause of civil rights.They conclude that the postwar demise of this vital alliance constituted a lost opportunity for the civil rights movement that followed the war.Other scholars, however, have portrayed organized labor as defending all along the relatively privileged position of White workers relative to African American workers.Clearly, these two perspectives are not easily reconcilable, but the historical reality is not reducible to one or the other.
看了前面很多NN的解释,慢慢地有点懂了。
historians 说的是trade unions 和黑哥们的关系,但是scholars说的是organized labor与黑哥们的关系。如果就字面意思来看,那么一个是贸易联盟,一个是工会。
但是我发现,很多事说法就把trade unions 等同于organized labor了。虽然不影响解题,但对于文章的理解我觉得还是很有必要的哦~~
那么在这道题里到底可不可以将trade unions等同于organized labor 呢?
