David Roediger je uznávaný historik, ktorý sa zameriava na afroamerické štúdie a komplexné témy amerických dejín. Jeho práca skúma hlboko zakorenené rasové identity a histórie imigrantov, často s dôrazom na skúsenosti bielych robotníkov. Roedigerov prístup sa vyznačuje kritickým pohľadom na dejiny práce a radikalizmu, pričom využíva neortodoxné zdroje a spája ich s analýzou poézie a surrealizmu. Jeho rozsiahly výskum ponúka nové pohľady na formovanie americkej spoločnosti a jej rasového a triedneho vývoja.
