Tilly, Charles (1929–2008)
Charles Tilly was a leading American historical sociologist. His first book was a widely acclaimed study of the Vendée and the rural counter‐revolutionaries of 1793–1796. Over his entire career he published more than 50 books in social history and historical sociology. Among his best‐known works were The Contentious French , Popular Contention in Great Britain 1758–1834 , and (with Doug McAdam and Sidney Tarrow), The Dynamics of Contention . He p…
Class Formation and Workers’ Attitudes toward Education: La Pensée Ouvrière (1948) by Georges Duveau
La pensée ouvrièrere pendant la second république et le second empire, Georges Duveau's classic but largely-forgotten study of French artisanal workers, focuses on changing attitudes toward work and education between 1848 and 1870, years which Duveau himself lauded as exceptionally fertile and creative in French social thought. How to explain such extraordinary fecundity? Partly, it can be explained by intensified police repression after Napoleon…

Introduction to a 1995 Conversation with Eric Hobsbawm
Eric Hobsbawm, who died on October 1, 2012, was one of a handful of extraordinary labor historians who emerged from the British Communist Party Historians' Group in the 1940s and 1950s. Today he is widely acknowledged as one of the great historians of our era. His influence is truly international. For a long time, a significant limitation on the extent of his renown was the USSR where, during the era of “actually-existing socialism,” his works we…

Larger Than Life: Remembering David
David Montgomery was larger than life in his personal style and self-presentation as well as in his spirit. Both watching and listening to him in conversation were a treat. So absorbed would he become in explaining some little-known incident of labor militancy that his entire body would get involved, his hand gestures and physical movements growing broader, requiring his listener to stand back to get a fuller view. His intense interest in labor h…
Ilwch: Forty Years On
This issue celebrates the fortieth anniversary of International Labor and Working-Class History . A relative youngster, it was a product of the second of two waves that resulted in the foundation of many labor history journals and societies. 1 The first wave, between roughly 1956 and 1962 included the Dutch-based International Review of Social History; 2 the Feltrinelli Institute's Annali in Italy ; Le mouvement social in France; Labor History in…

Contention and Trust in Cities and States
“Shall I Compare Thee … ?” Problems of Comparative Historical Analysis
Although Enlightenment European historians were comfortable working on a world-historical scale, their nineteenth-and twentieth-century successors felt most at home writing histories of the consolidated state -the centralized, territorially bounded state with a monopoly of violence, then growing up in France, Germany, Great Britain, and the US. Historians and history departments in the last two centuries have focused their work on the consolidate…

Cities, states, trust, and rule: New departures from the work of Charles Tilly
In the light of his essay “Cities, States and Trust Networks,” contributors to this collection were asked to consider ways of building on or departing from the late Charles Tilly’s work. The authors in this collection addressed four major themes: (1) historicism and historical legacies, (2) trust networks and commitment, (3) city–state relations, and (4) democracy and inequality. Authors concentrating on historicism examined how, despite unantici…
Rethinking the Left in Victory and Defeat: Introduction
The collapse of neoliberalism since September and October of 2008 has been sudden and spectacular. The failure of the ideas sustaining the Washington Consensus and the practices of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund seems nearly complete. The new world we may be entering could have a dramatically different political opportunity structure than the old one. But what will take its place? What has the Left to offer? What has it learne…
Labor History symposium: Gerald Friedman, Reigniting the Labor Movement
This article is less of a review of the above work than an analysis and discussion of some of its key arguments. Friedman’s book has two salient characteristics. First, the author has chosen not to restrict himself to a purely comparative approach to trade union decline: instead of examining the contrasting ways in which this phenomenon has played out in a number of countries, he treats it as a transnational occurrence which transcends national c…

Irish Transnational Social Movements, Deterritorialized Migrants, and the State System: The Last One Hundred and Forty Years
According to scholars who study transnational social movements of "deterritorialized migrants," such movements are: (1) a new phenomena of the modern global age, (2) a response to a modern communications revolution, and (3) a result of the weakening of modern states that contributes to the further decline of the national state system. This article examines the history of Irish conspiratorial brotherhoods over the last one hundred and forty years.…

Solidary logics: Introduction
Politics, Industrialization and Citizenship: Unemployment Policy in England, France and the United States, 1890–1950
With the “forward march of labor halted”, and labor movements everywhere in retreat, T.H. Marshall's state-based emphasis on social welfare as “social right” has reminded those interested in reform that appeals to membership in a national community, the essence of citizenship, have served to rally groups to successful struggles for reform. Those aspects of Marshall's ideas, best summarized in his classic 1949 address, “Citizenship and Social Clas…

Proletarians and Protest: The Roots of Class Formation in an Industrializing World
In this collection of essays a number of distinguished scholars examine the proletarianization process and its relation to social protest and class formation. The authors consider how the social origins of the industrial work force and the migration patterns that brought workers to industrial areas shaped the workers' developing identity and led them to participate in mass protests. The essays provide an overview of proletarianization in industri…

Family, Work and Wages: The Stéphanois Region of France, 1840–1914
Exploring issues of the family wage, this paper examines labour markets, family employment patterns and political conflict in France. Up to now, the debate over the family wage has centred mainly on analysing British trade unions and the development of an ideal of domesticity among the British working classes, more or less taking for granted the declining women's labour force participation rate and the configuration of state/trade union relations…
Recasting citizenship: Introduction
Work, School, and Reform: A Comparison of Birmingham, England, and Pittsburh, USA, 1900–1950
Of all state social provisions, education is among the most important. It also shows the greatest amount of variation among Western industrial nations. England and the United States, countries with many common intellectual and governmental traditions, with longstanding commitments to individualism and democratic forms of government, exhibit great disparity in education. Even today, the United States is by far the leader in the field of mass educa…

The Skilled Worker and Working-Class Protest
Not so long ago the skilled worker was regarded by labor historians as the black sheep of the labor movement, and the artisan's attempt to preserve his position and to retain his shop-floor autonomy was condemned out of hand. No more. Spurred on by the studies of E. P. Thompson in England, Albert Soboul in France, and George Rudé in both countries, historians have discovered the skilled worker's importance in labor protest and rebellion; everywhe…

The Politics of Proletarianization: A Review Article
The process of proletarianization and its role in the shaping of working class consciousness has captured the attention of French social historians over the last ten years. Until recently, works on French labor history generally neglected the formation of the working class to concentrate on the origins of national working-class parties or trade unions; thus, general histories of the political ‘workers’ movement' abound, to the detriment of occupa…

Work and Revolution in France: The Language of Labor from the Old Regime to 1848
Work and Revolution in France is particularly appropriate for students of French history interested in the crucial revolutions that took place in 1789, 1830, and 1848. Sewell has reconstructed the artisans' world from the corporate communities of the old regime, through the revolutions in 1789 and 1830, to the socialist experiments of 1848. Research has revealed that the most important class struggles took place in craft workshops, not in 'dark s…
