Ben Stroomberg International Institute of Social History The International Institute of Social History (IISH) conducts advanced research on the global history of work, workers, and labour relations and to this end gathers data, which are made available to other researchers as well. Our research program Global Labour History, as we define it, is not a theory but a field of scholarly interest. It concerns the history of all those people who through their work have built our modern world – not only wage labourers, but also chattel slaves, sharecroppers, housewives, the self-employed, and many other groups. The program focuses on the labour relations of these people, as individuals but also as members of households, families, clans and other networks and contexts. Global Labour History covers at least the last five centuries and, in principle, all continents. It compares developments in several parts of the world and attempts to reveal intercontinental connections and interactions |
