Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages have sunned.

A narrative history of work in Australia. Covering pre-history to the 1990s, it follows the development of work through several themes: Aboriginal people, convicts and free settlers, women and men, and the migrant experience. It examines the histories of work in the city and the bush, the contrasting places of work in working and middle-class lives, and the conflict between workers, management and the state. (back cover)
