Offers a synthesis and critical evaluation of current and recent debates in modern British social and labour history. Issues of change, continuity, class, gender and difference, and the overall place and role of labour in modern British society constitute the central concerns of the book. The author takes issue with recent linguistic and liberal "turns", vigorously making the case for the centrality of class and change to modern history. A selection of documents illustrates the main themes of the book.
