Description: The Anthropology of Labor Unions presents ethnographic data and analysis in eight case studies from several very diverse industries. It covers a wide range of topics, from the role of women and community in strikes to the importance of place in organization, and addresses global concerns with studies from Mexico and Malawu.
Review Quotes: "Durrenberger and Reichart produce and idea-rich, pioneering collection on the sociocultural anthropology of unions, certainly citable for years to come. Their book is valuable not just for students of unions but also to those interested in the broader social relations of work influenced and even restrained by the state."
-Frederick C. Gamst, Anthropology of Work Review
