Content:
This volume, part of the 'Work in Global and Historical Perspective' series, examines the intersection of work, labour, and life courses across global and historical contexts. Edited by Josef Ehmer and Carola Lentz, it brings together a diverse range of studies that explore how work influences individual life trajectories and societal changes. The book investigates various forms of work, including commodified and non-commodified, and examines the impact of political, geographic, and disciplinary boundaries on labour practices. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of work's role throughout history and across different cultures, appealing to scholars and researchers in labour history, sociology, and global studies.
