Très tôt cet ouvrage s'est imposé comme la référence sur le sujet, au sein d'une vaste littérature qui entendait expliquer la crise ouverte dans le syndicalisme français depuis la fin des années 1970. Jean-Marie Pernot éclaire, en effet, d'une perspective nouvelle la décomposition et la fragmentation syndicales, en les inscrivant dans leurs conditions historiques et en comparant le cas français aux autres pays d'Europe. Depuis une vingtaine d'années, le syndicalisme a perdu de son efficacité partout dans le monde et singulièrement en Europe. Pris dans ce mouvement d'ensemble, il a connu en France un affaiblissement plus précoce et plus radical qu'ailleurs. Cette désaffection a été amplifiée par la guerre de tous contre tous à quoi se ramènent trop souvent les relations intersyndicales. Surtout, le syndicalisme ne peut être isolé de ses interactions prolongées avec d'autres acteurs - le patronat et l'État. Or, sous l'essor des politiques néolibérales, l'État a modifié les règles du partenariat social. Il n'y a certes pas de raison unique à un phénomène de crise aussi durable ; mais dans la pluralité des causes, cette part prise par l'État dans la régulation du social est décisive.

The labor movement is weak and divided. Some think that it is dying. But Julius Getman, a preeminent labor scholar, demonstrates through examination of recent developments that a resurgent labor movement is possible. He proposes new models for organizing and innovating techniques to strengthen the strike weapon. Above all, he insists that unions must return to their historical roots as a social movement.

Presenting ethnographic data and analysis drawn from eight case studies from diverse industries in the United States and abroad, the contributors to The Anthropology of Labor Unions provide a variety of perspectives on this paradox, including discussions of approaches to and findings on the histories, cultures, and practices of organized labor. They also address substantive issues such as race, class, gender, age, generation, ethnicity, health and safety concerns, corporate co-optation of unions, and the cultural context of union-management relationships." "The first to bring together anthropological case studies of labor unions, The Anthropology of Labor Unions will appeal to cultural anthropologists, social scientists, sociologists, and those interested in labor studies and labor movements.

There are a number of places where sociologists of work and labour, together with labour movement activists, might search for alternatives to neo-liberal ideologies and practices. One obvious place to explore the scope and possibility for labour research might be where labour on an international terrain is attempting to match international capital and in this issue of the journal contributors consider this in light of the strategic orientation (and outcomes) of labour networks, sectoral organising, European Works Councils and workplace agenda in the context of management regimes.
