Book Launch: Global Commodity Chains and Labour Relations

Description

Over the last three decades, global history has fostered a number of key contributions to the ongoing rethinking of the temporal and spatial constructs foundational to historical writing. These debates have led to a widening of horizons and have opened up new research agendas, in labour history as well as in social history in general. Today, it is no longer feasible to write the history of the world as a history of European expansion. And the history of work can no longer be framed as the history of supposedly Western models and their contribution to modernity. Yet, global history has only rarely confronted the highly unstable historical construct called “Europe”. Therefore, the conference is dedicated to the need to historicise Europe as a conceptual frame in global history and will discuss social inequalities in Europe – both in the past and the present.
