Zusatztext I'm convinced that this carefully edited collection of essays will be a standard reference for ten years or more. Based on solid empirical research and unconventional theorizing! Workers Across the Americas connects many areas of interest that working-class historians have either neglected or considered in isolation for too long. It explores connections between the Caribbean! Latin America! and North America. It takes reproductive! indigenous! and military workseriously. And it begins to integrate the histories of 'free' and 'unfree' labor.
