Reviews
Combining political, institutional, and economic perspectives, this volume produces a unique exploration of how the effects of authoritarian pasts change over time and vary across national contexts to produce a variety of outcomes for labor. - J. M. Burke, CHOICE Working through the Past is an impressive book that grapples with labor's varied trajectories across different settings in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. This important volume covers a lot of ground in terms of the wide range of important cases analyzed. Yet there is a high degree of theoretical coherence across the chapters thanks to the common framework for tracking how authoritarian legacies can influence the evolution of labor relations. The result is a major scholarly contribution that can serve as a new baseline for anyone interested in labor politics in non-Western settings. -Rudra Sil, University of Pennsylvania, author of Managing Modernity : Work, Community, and Authority in Late-Industrializing Japan and Russia Working through the Past provides a well-researched and coherent analysis of the impact of labor legacies under authoritarianism on the capacity of workers to defend their interests in the wake of transitions to democracy and the opening of markets. It offers a unique perspective through its emphasis on legacies and its inclusion of cases from several regions. -Katrina Burgess, Tufts University, author of Parties and Unions in the New Global Economy
