Michael Lavalette’s A Thing of the Past? uses historical and sociological research to provide multiple interpretations of the changing nature and form of child labour in Britain during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book itself is split into three parts, The Theoretical Context of Child Labour Research; Child Labour in British History; and Contemporary Issues, and features chapters that emphasise the effect of the Industrial Revolution and capitalism on the marginalisation of children within the labour process, and analyses the significance of child ‘employment’ in society today. While the book focuses predominantly on child labour in British history and in Britain currently, the book also looks closely at the past and present forms of child labour in the US in order to offer a useful study of the exploitation of children within an advanced economy.
