In the late nineteenth century in a number of continental European
countries Christian associations of workers arose: Christian trade
unions, workers' cooperatives, political leagues, workers' youth
movements and cultural associations, sometimes separately for men
and women. In some countries they formed a unified Christian labour
movement, which sometimes also belonged to a broader Christian
subculture or pillar, encompassing all social classes. In
traditional labour history Christian workers' organizations were
solely represented as dividing the working class and weakening the
class struggle. However, from the 1980s onwards a considerable
amount of studies have been devoted to Christian workers'
organizations that adopted a more nuanced approach. This book takes
stock of this new historiography. To broaden the analysis, each
contribution compares the development in at least two countries,
thus generating new comparative insights. This volume assesses the
development of Christian workers' organizations in Europe from a
broad historical and comparative perspective. The contributions
focus on the collective identity of the Christian workers'
organization, their denominational and working-class allegiances
and how these are expressed in ideology, organization and practice.
Among the themes discussed are relations with churches and
Christian Democracy, secularization, the development of the Welfare
State, industrial relations and the contribution to working-class
culture. This volume is the result of a joint intellectual
enterprise of the International Institute of Social History (IISG)
in Amsterdam (Netherlands) and a group of scholars linked to the
KADOC--Documentation and ResearchCentre for Religion, Culture and
Society of the KU Leuven (Catholic University Leuven-Belgium).
