Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 6x0x9; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Some foxing to edge. Pages unmarked. This study of canal construction workers between 1780 and 1860 challenges labor history's focus on skilled craftsmen and the model of working-class culture it generated. Canallers, part of the mass of unskilled labor thrown up by industrial capitalism, had an experience that differed in many ways from artisans. Once on the labor market, they were wholly alienated, more fully exploited, worse off economically, and socially fragmented. Their struggle as members of a class pivoted on material conditions, not on skill and shop-floor control. Canal construction played a significant role in the rise of industrial capitalism by opening new markets, providing an army of workers, and initiating the state-capital ties so important in later years.
