Description

Explore the history of maritime labor with Dock Workers: International Explorations in Comparative Labour History, 1790-1970. This ambitious two-volume project from Routledge offers a deep look into the lives of those who loaded and unloaded ships across the globe. As international trade grew, dock laborers became a major force in the world's primary ports, forming a unique and distinct occupational group. This work moves beyond single-country studies to provide a comparative international perspective. Volume 1 focuses on 22 major ports worldwide, using a consistent framework to examine the specific types of workers who dominated dock labor. By looking at factors like race and social structure within these port studies, this book provides a wide-reaching view of labor history over two centuries. It is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the history of global trade.
