"Labour History And Its Political Role - A New Landscape, Terry Irving
Terence H Irving, Dr (Terry)
This address to a centenary issue forum for the Australian journal, "Labour History", focused on the political role of the journal in academic circles. It discussed the politics involved in the journal's foundation and the political implications of the redefinition of its field by Van der Linden, especially his use of the distinction between labour as toil and creative work.
