Why do people rebel? This is one of the most important questions
historians and social scientists have been grappling with over the
years. It is a question to which no satisfactory answer has been
found, despite more than a century of research. However, in most
cases the research has focused on what people do if they rebel but
hardly ever, why they rebel. The essays in this volume offer an
alternative perspective, based on the question at what point
families decided to add collective action to their repertoires of
survival strategies, In this way this volume opens up a promising
new field of historical research: the intersection of labour and
family history. The authors offer fascinating case studies in
several countries spanning over four continents during the last two
centuries. In an extensive introduction the relevant literature on
households and collective action is discussed, and the volume is
rounded off by a conclusion that provides methodological and
theoretical suggestions for the further exploration of this new
field in social history.
