Reviews for Revisiting Divisions of Labour : The Impacts and Legacies of a Modern Sociological Classic
'A reassessment of a modern sociological classic, Revisiting divisions of labour provides a fascinating account of how a classic study continues to resonates with and inform subsequent debates and research.' Dr Wendy Bottero, University of Manchester 'This volume brilliantly conveys the prescient understandings, original approaches, inventive analyses and excitement of Ray Pahl's ground breaking 1984 study of the social relations of work and home on the Isle of Sheppey. All renowned experts in their respective fields, the authors reveal the long-term significance of changes in the old order and subsequent evolution of emergent developments originally detected by Pahl - the changing shape of inequalities, new class relations and social polarisation, women's work and employment, deindustrialisation, and household strategies, to name a few. Starting out from the original, they move far beyond it in their own analyses of contemporary divisions of labour and their comments on the role of sociology in the current period.' Professor Miriam Glucksmann, University of Essex
