No Customer Reviews
A History of Work in Britain, 1880-1950 analyses the rich mosaic of experience in the British workplace and discusses the continuities and changes between the mid-Victorian period and 1950. McIvor engages with the main arguments and theories that have dominated this contentious area, critically examining the veracity of Marxist conceptualisations of deskilling, degradation and the subordination of labour. Other themes taken up are the changing shape of the labour force, the role of the unions, interactions between work and health, the changing role of the state in the workplace and gender relations at work.
