Reviews / Votes
'This superb book deserves to be considered for a prize...a remarkable achievement.' -- Gordon Stewart EH.net 'Some themes of the book will be of interest to specialist readers: a great deal of information about Dundee and its relationship with the national government is presented, and the authors give a good analysis of the "gendered character of the industry's labour force"'.
