Una historia social y política del mundo del trabajo y los trabajadores

Abstract

After recaling how at the beginning of historiographic concern for the working class in Spain, use was made of many interdisciplinary approaches with input from anthropology, sociology, psychology or philology, which now seems to be fashionable, emphasis is made on the relationship between the curent multiplication of topics to be considered and a considerable interpretative confusion. It is necessary to strive for the co- ordination of various aspects and, specificaly, for a history of working conditions and the working class that should be inserted within a renewed social history of politics, within a renewed class history. More practice of local history and monographs would be a good starting point in this direction.
