Originally published in 1987, this book focusses on the debate around the international role of the working class and other dominated classes such as the rural and urban poor. The contributions discuss whether Marx's original version of the revolutionary role of workers can still be sustained. They examine the response of workers to the globalisation of production, to structural unemployment in the industrialized world and to the changing composition of the workforce in the industrialising periphery. The volume questions the historic starting points in the theorization of international labour.

Industry Reviews

Reviews of the original edition of International Labour and the Third World.

'This wide-ranging collection of essays addresses a theme of central importance in an epoch of global class formation and economic restructuring. Central and Latin America, South Africa, and the implications of the new international division of labour for women and children receive specific treatment.' Bryan D. Palmer, Labour / Le Travail, Vol. 23, (Spring, 1989).

'The range of issues covered is .... an eclectic one, including gender, poverty, agricultural change, proletarianization, multinationals, international migration, and worker-based political change. ... The volume concludes with a useful annotated bibliography classified by area and topic.' Bryan Roberts,

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 13 (2), June 1989.

In the first section ... the contributors use substantive material in order to re-evaluate critically such concepts as 'international trade unionism', 'labour' and 'class struggle'. ... Contributors highlight the necessity to incorporate peasants into the category 'working class' and, thus, transform our perceptions of the nature of the labour movement.' P. M. Glavinis, Work, Employment and Society, 2 (2), 1988.
