Les significations attribuées au mot « communiste » sont plus diverses que jamais. Il renvoie à une histoire tragique pour les peuples et les communistes eux-mêmes, et est même associé, dans le cas de la Chine, à un acteur central de la mondialisation capitaliste. Mais il reste aussi, pour beaucoup de celles et ceux qui le revendiquent, lié à l’idée d’une alternative au capitalisme, visant à l’égalité sociale et à l’instauration d’un pouvoir politique effectivement exercé par le plus grand
nombre, non monopolisé par les élites sociales.

This volume offers a bold restatement of the importance of social history for understanding modern revolutions. The essays collected inWorlds of Labour Turned Upside Down provide global case studies examining:

- challenges to existing labour relations as a motivating factor during revolutions; 
- the long-term impact of revolutions on the evolution of labour relations.

L'ouvrage montre par son approche globale que l'histoire du travail forcé ne peut se comprendre qu’en relation avec celle du travail libre. Les deux aires ne cessent de se superposer et de se répondre pour écrire une seule et même histoire encore inachevée, celle d'une difficile émancipation. Lire la suite
