Summary

Industrial Work and Life: An Anthropological Reader provides a comprehensive anthropological overview of industrialization in both Western and non-Western societies. Bringing together both classic texts and cutting-edge contemporary material, it also provides a critical discussion of the assumptions that inform much of the social science literature on industrialization and industrial 'modernity'.
