This led to much debate on its future and function within the historical discipline as a whole. Some critics declared it dead altogether. Others have proposed a change of direction and a more or less exclusive focus on images and texts. The most constructive proposals have suggested that labour history in the past concentrated too much on class and that other identities of working people should be taken into account to a larger extent than they had been previously, such as gender, religion, and ethnicity. Although class as a social category is still as valid as it has been before, the questions now to be asked are to what extent non-class identities shape working people's lives and mentalities and how these are linked with the class system. In this volume some of the leading European historians of labour and the working classes address these questions. Two non-European scholars comment on their findings from an Indian, resp. American, point of view. The volume is rounded off by a most useful bibliography of recent studies in European labour history, class, gender, religion, and ethnicity.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 408gContributor: Lex Heerma van Voss (Edited by), Marcel van der Linden (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Social Sciences, HistoryBook Series: International Studies in Social HistoryAuthor: Lex Heerma van VossRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
