"Industrial Work and Life: An Anthropological Reader provides a comprehensive anthropological overview of industrialization in both Western and non-Western societies. Bringing together both classic texts and cutting-edge contemporary material, it also provides a critical discussion of the assumptions that inform much of the social science literature on industrialization and industrial 'modernity'." "Industrial Work and Life is the essential introduction to the study of industrialization in different societies. It will appeal to students across a wide range of subjects including: anthropology, comparative sociology, social history, development studies, industrial relations and management studies."--Jacket.
