Description

Dock Workers examines the distinctive occupational group of workers who loaded and unloaded ships across two centuries of global trade expansion. This ambitious two-volume project by Routledge develops a genuinely comparative international perspective spanning from 1790 to 1970, moving beyond individual port studies to provide comprehensive analysis. Volume 1 contains 22 detailed port studies of major worldwide shipping centres, built around an agreed framework of issues. These studies examine the types of dock workers who dominated labour, their racial composition, working conditions, and labour organisation across different cultures and economies. The work explores how dock labourers became increasingly concentrated in major ports as international commerce grew, offering scholars, historians, and labour studies students unparalleled insight into comparative working-class history across continents and centuries.

Key Features

Covers 22 major ports worldwide with individual port studies built on a consistent analytical framework.

Spans 180 years of dock labour history from 1790 to 1970, capturing long-term economic and social changes.

Two-volume project providing comprehensive international comparison rather than isolated regional studies.

Examines dock worker demographics, race, and composition across different global shipping centres and cultures.

Developed by Routledge as a major scholarly contribution to comparative labour history and working-class studies.
