Managing the Modern Workplace: Productivity, Politics and Workplace Culture in Postwar Britain
ISBN: 9780754608745 / Angielski / Twarda / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A recurring theme in the history of modern Britain in the twentieth-century has been the failure of its manufacturing industry and the record of disorder and conflict in the industrial workplace.

This emphasis on decline and disorder in British manufacturing has distorted our understanding of workplace relationships and cultures in the post-war years. This volume provides a fresh assessment of the diverse and complex world of the workplace and Britain's production cultures during the long boom. Essays...

Labour at the Lakehead: Ethnicity, Socialism, and Politics, 1900-35
ISBN: 9780774820011 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the early twentieth century, the Canadian Lakehead was known as a breeding ground for revolution, a place where harsh conditions in dockyards, lumber mills, and railway yards drove immigrants into radical labour politics. This intensely engaging history reasserts Northwestern Ontario's rightful reputation as a birthplace of leftism in Canada by exposing the conditions that gave rise to an array of left-wing organizations, including the Communist Party, the One Big Union, and the Industrial Workers of the World. Yet, as Michel Beaulieu shows, the circumstances and actions of...

Pink Collar Blues: Work, Gender and Technology
ISBN: 9780522845204 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The wordprocessor has revolutionized the workplace but exactly what changes have computers brought to our working lives -- and who benefits? Will it mean that women's skills are increased -- or devalued? What are women's skills? And how can the information revolution be turned to women's advantage? With one-third of women workers in clerical jobs, the links between the women's movement and the computer revolution are many and subtle. The impact of technological change on women's work, and on women's wages, is still to be fully felt, let alone fully understood.

Shanghai on Strike: The Politics of Chinese Labor
ISBN: 9780804720632 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work is an important addition to the rather limited literature on the social history of China during the first half of the twentieth century. It draws on abundant sources and studies which have appeared in the People's Republic of China since the early 1980s and which have not been systematically used in Western historiography. China has undergone a series of fundamental political transformations: from the 1911 Revolution that toppled the imperial system to the victory of the communists, all of which were greatly affected by labor unrest. This work places the politics of Chinese workers...

ISBN: 9780754635451 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The multi-faceted tensions created in developing countries between a burgeoning popular desire for democracy and the harsh imperatives of modernisation and industrialisation are nowhere more evident than in the so-called 'Asian tiger' nations. Of all those nascent economies, South Korea in the 1960s and 1970s stands pre-eminent for the magnitude and speed of its development and the extraordinarily oppressive and inhumane conditions that its labour force, mainly women and young girls, were compelled to endure. The author of this book was one of those young girls who suffered in the warren of...
