Book Synopsis Out to Work by : Alice Kessler-Harris
Download or read book Out to Work written by Alice Kessler-Harris and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-16 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death, for bacteria, is not inevitable. Protect a bacterium from predators, and provide it with adequate food and space to grow, and it would continue living--and reproducing asexually--forever. But a paramecium (a slightly more advanced single-cell organism), under the same ideal conditions, would stop dividing after about 200 generations--and die. Death, for paramecia and their offspring, is inevitable. Unless they have sex ... In Sex and the Origins of Death, William Clark ranges far and wide over fascinating terrain. Whether describing a 62-year-old man having a ma.
Book Synopsis Aspirations and Anxieties by : David A. Zonderman
Download or read book Aspirations and Anxieties written by David A. Zonderman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-01-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspirations and Anxieties is a working class intellectual history of early factory operatives in antebellum New England. The book focuses on the operatives' perceptions of technological and socio-economic changes in the mechanized workplace. The study uncovers a complex debate over many facets of the factory system--the machines and factory buildings, wages and hours, relations between managers and workers, and the content and character of protest. Finally, the book argues that the roots of this debate lie in the struggle to define the meaning of work itself in a period of profound social change.
Download or read book Our Own Time written by David R. Roediger and published by Verso. This book was released on 1989-11-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Own Time retells the story of American labor by focusing on the politics of time and the movements for a shorter working day. It argues that the length of the working day has been the central issue for the American labor movement during its most vigorous periods of activity, uniting workers along lines of craft, gender and ethnicity. The authors hold that the workweek is likely again to take on increased significance as workers face the choice between a society based on free time and one based on alienated work and unemployment.
Book Synopsis Female Labour Power: Women Workers’ Influence on Business Practices in the British and American Cotton Industries, 1780–1860 by : Janet Greenlees
Download or read book Female Labour Power: Women Workers’ Influence on Business Practices in the British and American Cotton Industries, 1780–1860 written by Janet Greenlees and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain and America were the first two countries with mechanised cotton manufacturing industries, the first major factory systems of production and the first major employers of women outside of the domestic environment. The combination of being new wage earners in the first trans-national industry and their public prominence as workers makes these women's role as employees significant; they set the early standard for women as waged labour, to which later female workers were compared. This book analyses how women workers influenced patterns of industrial organization and offers a new perspective on relationships between gender and work and on industrial development. The primary theme of the study is the attempt to control the work process through co-operation, coercion and conflict between women workers, their male counterparts and manufacturers. Drawing upon examples of women's subversive activities and attitudes toward the discourses of labour, the book emphasizes the variety of women's work experiences. By using this diversity of experience in a comparative way, the book reaches conclusions that challenge a variety of historical concepts, including separate spheres of influence for men and women and related economic theories, for example that women were passive players in the workplace, evolutionary theories with respect to industrial development, and business culture within and between the two industries. Overall it provides the fresh approach that highlights and explains women's agency as operatives and paid workers during industrialization.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays by a well-known American historian begins with personal accounts of the author's own experiences on a farm commune in the 1970s and those of her German immigrant grandmother in Wisconsin in the early 1900s. Other essays draw on oral history, iconography, and material culture to expand our knowledge of previously invisible women. Essays on Seneca women in New York, black women in Maryland, and Pueblo and Hispanic women in the Southwest document strategies used by diverse rural women to survive difficult transitions.

Promise to the Land offers insight into a neglected area of American culture and will be invaluable to scholars and students of rural sociology, history, and women's studies -- Book jacket.
