The End of Labour History?

The view that labour history is now unredeemably marginalized is a prevailing one. This collection of essays is a scholarly attempt to integrate labour history within the broader discipline of social history and to demonstrate the continuing vitality and validity of the sub-discipline. Each essay is in itself a response to criticisms of the ways in which labour historians have approached their subjects whether the environment, household or everyday life, entrepreneurship, race and gender as well as being a case study of interest to social historians.
