Full Description
This book brings an inclusive and transnational perspective to the history of labour organisations and activism in the twentieth century. Together, the essays demonstrate how connections, interactions, and competition between different movements, networks, and organisations impacted the historical development of international, regional, and local labour activisms. Authors take up more informal—even transgressive—activist networks and repertoires, spotlight the work of once-marginalised figures, and address the "nested" nature of local, national, inter-imperial, and postcolonial spaces in and across world regions. Alongside themes such as migration policies, gender (in)equality, peace movements, and antiracist activism that have been absent from or sidelined in labour history, classic themes of transnational labour activism, such as labour rights, occupational safety, and workplace discrimination appear in a new light.
