Racializing Class, Classifying Race: Labour and Difference in Britain, the USA and Africa

NA NA

Palgrave Macmillan, 2000 - History - 250 pages

The ten essays in this book explore the intersection of race and class in the study of labor on three continents. Leading scholars examine the way in which working-class identities took shape and changed over time in a variety of settings from the sea ports of southern Africa to the copper mining region of the American southwest. Engaged with debates in current scholarship yet accessible to a general audience, these essays deepen an understanding of the international dimension of labor history.
