Reviews"The essays collected in this volume reveal vividly the social and political inspiration that gave rise to a creative upsurge of interest in the history of working people half a century ago. Intense debates over Marxism and modernization theory, over insights provided by a focus on gender and race, over the "linguistic turn," over the revelations offered by everyday life as opposed to movements, are all reviewed here in ways that lift the issues involved out of the disdain with which some or all of them are often treated today." -David Mongomery, Emeritus Professor of History, Yale University, "The essays collected in this volume reveal vividly the social and political inspiration that gave rise to a creative upsurge of interest in the history of working people half a century ago.

SynopsisThese specially commissioned essays by labor historians of international repute provide a complete survey of the global trajectory of labor history. Authoritative and well-researched, these essays consider the early labor history traditions as well as the new conceptions of class, gender, ethnicity, culture, community, and power. The contributors analyze key debates, question dominant paradigms, acknowledge minority critiques, and consider future directions. This book will be of interest to historians of working-class political parties and organizations, to students of trade unions and industrial conflict, and to social scientists interested in social and political protest.
