Live working or die fighting Book

Interesting approach to labour history, combining contemporary reportage from labour struggles around the globe with similar examples from history. Includes chapters on syndicalism, the sit-down strikes of the 1930s, the role of the labour movement in the Chinese revolution, the Jewish Bund, and contemporary takes on struggles in Nigeria, Bolivia, the new Chinese working class of the SEZs, etc. While I might disagree with some of the emphases and conclusions Mason draws (for example, the centrality of NGOs to the new global labour movement), this is a must-read book for any student of labour history or radical politics.
