Book Review

Comrades and Cousins: Globalization, Workers, and Labour Movements in Britain, the USA, and Australia from the 1880s to 1914. By Neville Kirk. (London: Merlin, 2003. x, 230 pp. Paper, $29.95, ISBN 0-85036-515-5.)

In recent years the study of comparative labor history has flourished, ranging from large-scale studies of migrant labor in the Atlantic economy to industry-to-industry comparisons. Eschewing a model-building approach, Neville Kirk's new book consists of three in-depth essays that largely stand on their own. The first one focuses on how labor's attitudes toward independent labor politics differed in Britain and America, the second on whether conditions in Australia really qualified it as a workingman's paradise, and the third on how attitudes toward imperialism and race varied among white workers in England, Australia, and South Africa.
