The fundamentals guiding labor historians are under scrutiny today as never before. The field has attempted to uncover the socioeconomic conditions that produced labor militancy and class consciousness, with scholars focusing on proletarianization---the loss of control over the production process---as the key to class conflict. Currently, this entire approach is being questioned.
In Rethinking Labor History, nine well-known French labor historians join the debate. Advocates of both revisionist Marxism and discourse analysis are represented, and examples of empirical research emerging from the theoretical disputes are included.

Reviews for RETHINKING LABOR HISTORY: ESSAYS ON DISCOURSE AND CLASS ANALYSIS
"The problem of situating working-class history amid growing challenge to a materialist approach is a compelling one, and these essays approach it seriously, imaginatively, and diversely."
