On the Road to Global Labour History: A Festschrift for Marcel van der Linden

Editor: Karl Heinz Roth

Global Labour History is a latecomer to historical science. It has only developed in the last three decades. This anthology provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art. Prominent representatives of the discipline discuss its fundamental methodological and conceptual aspects. In addition, the volume contains field and case studies from Africa and Latin America, as well as from the Middle East and China. In these studies, the local, regional and continental constitutive processes of the working class are discussed from a global-historical perspective. The anthology has been composed as a Festschrift dedicated to Marcel van der Linden, the leading theoretician of, and networker for, Global Labour History. 

Karl Heinz Roth, M.D. (1986), Ph.D. (1992), is memebr of the executive bnoard of the Stiftung für Sozialgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts (Bremen, Germany). He has published monographs and many articles on European global history of the twentieth century.
