Work in a Modern Society : The German Historical Experience in Comparative Perspective, Paperback / softback Book

Work in a Modern Society : The German Historical Experience in Comparative Perspective Paperback / softback

Edited by Jurgen Kocka

Part of the New German Historical Perspectives series

Paperback / softback

Description

Whereas the history of workers and labor movements has been widely researched, the history of work has been rather neglected by comparison.

This volume offers original contributions that deal with cultural, social and theoretical aspects of the history of work in modern Europe, including the relations between gender and work, working and soldiering, work and trust, constructions and practices.

The volume focuses on Germany but also places the case studies in a broader European context.

It thus offers an insight into social and cultural history as practiced by German-speaking scholars today but also introduces the reader to ongoing research in this field.
