Opis

"Revisiting Division of Labour" is a radically revised second edition of the book "Divisions of Labour "by Ray Pahl, combining the strengths of a new edition with those of a 'reader' on a key author's work. The model shows the discipline at its best and is a platform for discussion of how and why sociological research can have deep and lasting impact.

One third of the volume is devoted to selected excerpts from the book, and the remaining two thirds comprise contributions by researchers working in the field today. This places "Divisions of Labour" in context, examines what was so innovative and important about it, and looks at its on-going significance for debates in fields including the sociology of work and the sociology of community.
