International Labor and Working-Class History is looking for essays on the theme of new approaches to transnational labor history. The collection will be edited by Michael Hanagan and Marcel van der Linden. We're interested in case studies that illustrate new approaches or in general expositions of transnational processes or mechanisms of interest to labor historians. Drafts are due on September, 2003 and a short page or two precis within the next month or so.
