Coffee from East Africa, wine from California, chocolate from the
Ivory Coast - all those every day products are based on labour,
often produced under appalling conditions, but always involving the
combination of various work processes we are often not aware of.
What is the day-to-day reality for workers in various parts of the
world, and how was it in the past? How do they work today, and how
did they work in the past? These and many other questions comprise
the field of the global history of work - a young discipline that
is introduced with this handbook. In 8 thematic chapters, this book
discusses these aspects of work in a global and long term
perspective, paying attention to several kinds of work. Convict
labour, slave and wage labour, labour migration, and workers of the
textile industry, but also workers' organisation, strikes, and
motivations for work are part of this first handbook of global
labour history, written by the most renowned scholars of the
profession.
