- Description
- With the onset of a more conservative political climate in the 1980s, social and especially labour history saw a decline in the popularity that it had previously enjoyed. This led to much debate in its future and function within the historical discipline as a whole. 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 such as gender, religion, and ethnicity. The volume is rounded off by a bibliography of recent studies in European labour histoyr, class, gender, religion, and ethnicity.
