Making of the Citizen-Worker - Labour and the Borders of Politics in Post-Revolutionary France

The book addresses how work became so central to our systems of citizenship and social recognition by considering the French context in the long transition between the 1789 and 1848 revolutions and focusing on a specific 'fragment' of history in the early 1830s marked by a pandemic crisis and the first consequences of industrialisation.
