Editorial Reviews

This compilation of essays, "inspired by" a 1998 conference called "Work, Difference, and Social Change: Two Decades after Braverman's Labor Supply and Monopoly Capital" that was organized by Baldoz (sociology, Univ. of Hawaii), Charles Koeber (sociology, Wichita State Univ.), and Philip Kraft (sociology, SUNY at Binghamton), takes on the reality of globalization in the workplace. The book is divided into four parts--"The Global Perspective: Continuity and Change," "Service and Service Sector Workers," "Production and Industrial Workers," and "Professional and Technical Workers"--with two or more essays in each part. Geographically wide-ranging and always interesting, the essays compare favorably with those found in other recent publications on these topics, including Arthur B. Shostak's CyberUnion (Sharpe, 1999), Paul J.J. Welfens's Globalization of the Economy, Unemployment and Innovation (Springer, 1999), and J.W. Smith's Economic Democracy (Sharpe, 2000). Like these other titles, this volume's level of discussion makes it appropriate for academic and special collections.--Ellen D. Gilbert, Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, NJ Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
