At times, it may seem that our bread-earning labour and our life styles are local and national, but what we produce is commercialized in foreign markets, and what we consume in our local fiestas is produced overseas. We need to go beyond what is local and national to understand the broader and global aspect in the history of labour relationships and tele-connections between labour in spatial terms.

We write with exciting news of the takeoff of LaborOnline, a new blog on
the LAWCHA website that will deepen and extend the content of LAWCHA's
flagship journal, Labor: Studies in Working-Class History of the Americas.
Piloted by new Associate Editor Rosemary Feurer--and assisted by an
all-star cast of designated blog contributors--LaborOnline will feature
commentary on a host of issues, contemporary and historical, as well as
"instant" dialogue and debate among readers and authors about the contents
of the print journal.

Cet ouvrage offre un choix de vingt-deux des multiples travaux d’histoire contemporaine
de Marc Vuilleumier. Disséminés jusque-là dans différents supports éditoriaux,
ces articles sont consacrés à l’histoire du mouvement ouvrier et du socialisme
en Suisse, de la première Internationale à 1960. Chacun d’eux est précédé d’une introduction
de l’auteur qui précise les circonstances de son élaboration et indique, le cas
échéant, le jugement rétrospectif de l’historien sur son propos ou les directions nouvelles
prises depuis lors par l’historiographie.

Under the auspices of the International Institute of Social History and the International Labour Organization (ILO), international researchers and officials gathered in Addis Ababa on 5 November, and an initiative was launched to promote a general labour history of Africa.

'Labour is a major entry point into African history, but there is so little documented research on African labour studies', as one of the participants put it.
