Full Description
This edited volume presents an inclusive and transnational perspective on labour organisations and activism in the twentieth century. Moving beyond single-organisation studies, the authors examine less formalised activist networks and transgressive activisms, bringing marginalised actors to centre stage. In doing so, the volume expands the concept of activism and the scope of activities it covers. Analysing the entanglements between different labour internationalisms, the chapters explore classic themes of transnational labour activism such as labour rights, occupational diseases, or workplace discrimination, together with migration policies, gendered (in)equality, peace movements, and antiracist advocacy. The authors demonstrate how connection, interaction, and competition between different movements, networks, and organisations impacted the historical development of labour activism. Adopting a global perspective, the book not only transcends Eurocentrism but also explores exchanges and connections in local, national, inter-imperial, and postcolonial spaces.
