Summary "Letters to Judd, an American Workingman" by Upton Sinclair is a collection of letters written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a socio-political commentary aimed at American laborers, particularly focusing on the experiences and concerns of working-class individuals like Judd, an old carpenter. The text grapples with themes of economic inequality, highlighting the exploitation of workers within an industrial system that benefits the wealthy elite. The opening of the book introduces readers to the character of Judd and the relationship he shares with the narrator, who reflects on their discussions about life, work, and the social injustices facing laborers. Through personal anecdotes and straightforward language, the narrator begins to explore fundamental ideas about rights, the labor system, and the broader socio-economic landscape, aiming to educate and enlighten Judd and others like him. The tone is sincere, as the narrator expresses a desire to address the issues that plague the lives of American workingmen, thereby setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the socio-political structures in subsequent letters.
