City, Space and Trade Unionism

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Worker struggles take place in a geographical landscape. They are interrelated in many ways with local communities and spaces - as well as the memories that these dimensions evoke. This book is an original and thoughtful insight into how we need to relate the nature and changes in worker struggles across time with their location and the nature of those spaces. It brings a new dimension to the way we think about work and representation." Miguel Martinez Lucio, Work and Equalities Institute, The University of Manchester "An excellent book that help us reflect on how labour and social struggle are connected through the living fabric of the Bay of Cadiz." Maurizio Atzeni, CEIL-CONICET and Universidad Alberto Hurtado





"A bold theoretical perspective on the spatial politics of labour that beautifully animates the history of Andalusian shipyard workers in the post-Franco, post-Fordist era." Ruth Milkman, City University of New York Graduate Center





"Through a close reading of the history of industrial workers' struggles in Cadiz, Beltran Roca wonderfully demonstrates how the places within which workers live shape their political behaviour and how, in turn, workers remake those places through their activities." Andy Herod, University of Georgia
