Thinking Global Labour History: Problems and Prospects

Paradigmatically Global Labor History distinguishes itself from the earlier labor histories and posits a new theoretical vision before the historians of global labor. Tight compartmentalization and classification of the historical reality into local, regional, national and or even world history signify the preclusion of multifarious trans-border transactions. So, the rationale for global history is also an appeal to overcome such divisions and to reach at a more complete perception of the interactions and connections, which made the modern world what it is today. Global Labor History is present in the form of the development of research agenda given the vast diversity in working class formations and rise and growth of class culture in varied nations across the globe, Finally, the fast-changing economic landscape as evident in the rise of the gig economy impact the laborers and their livelihoods globally.
