The subject is work. In every place-time people made and sold objects - and struggled with annoying customers or government regulation. They healed clients - and wanted to bolster their prestige and keep out interlopers. Studying work allows historians to delve into the experiences of non-elite groups using texts, images, or objects. The wide-ranging approach is based on the Chicago-school sociology of occupations, which starts from the premise that work isn't just a job: it's a drama created by people making decisions that shape and are shaped by their place-time. Packed with examples from Ming Chinese apothecaries to twentieth-century New York City doormen, this book is a must for those who want to enliven their study of the past by examining how people spent most of their days and lives: at work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46932091306135,"sku":"9789048559534","price":3320.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789048559534.webp?v=1771618621","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-social-drama-of-daily-work-a-manual-for-historians-9789048559534","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
