Jobs and Bodies by Arthur Mcivor
Written by a world experts on the history of occupational health, this work focuses on the history of public health and safety from World War I to the present.
This is deeply moving and important account of how work is embodied; how the jobs British people have done damaged them physically and mentallyMcIvor is the leading scholar of occupational illness and industry. His humanity and care for the subject is apparent on every page. -- Tim Strangleman, Professor of Sociology, University of Kent, UK
McIvor takes us into the lived interior of the destructive history of structural violence at work. I appreciated how much care went into weaving these difficult stories together to create a national history from below and from within. It is a model of how to geographically scale-up our analysis without losing our grounding in people’s lives. It represents oral history at its humanistic best. * Steven High, Professor of History, Concordia University, Canada *
