Description and Table of Contents
Description
The essays in this volume present the view that such collective actions as riots, protests, strikes and rebellions are coherent, if often unsuccessful attempts by working class people to defend or advance well-defined interests. Using as examples a series of case studies from 18th, 19th and 20th century Europe, the contributors present a new perspective on worker reactions to the strategies of the elite.
'...the book and its argument are interesting, and the explicitness with which all the authors set up and investigate their hypotheses makes this an excellent collection for use on historical methods courses.' -- Urban History Yearbook 1983
