Sukla] http://www.thisisforever.org/upcoming/global-labor-history Towards a Global Labor History with van der Linden 16 Beaver Group Saturday, October 31st @ 12PM – 2PM Marcel van der Linden: Working Class History from Below 16 Beaver Street, 4th fl. New York, NY 10004 Marcel van der Linden will be presenting research from his book, “Workers of the World, Essays Towards a Global labor History,” which builds the foundations of a global history of capitalism from below: a history freed from Eurocentrism and methodological nationalism. Using literature from diverse regions, epochs and disciplines, van der Linden provides arguments and conceptual tools for a different interpretation of history – a labor history which integrates the history of slavery, indentured labor, and subsistence labor; and which pays serious attention to diverging yet interconnected developments in different parts of the world. Published in 2008 in the Netherlands, the 477 page book “Workers of the World“ is available as a digital copy here. While the discussion will span themes from the entire book, the book’s Introduction (pp. 1-14 of the book’s pagination) is a useful starting point. So, too, are the sections Conceptualizations (Chapters Two through Four, pp. 17-78) and Forms of Resistance (Chapters Nine through Twelve, pp. 171-283) Tea and coffee will be provided; any simple food contributions are appreciated, such as bread, cheese, honey, jam, fruit, etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
