Essays on the new working class

Plot

Although Mallet was one of the leading left theoreticians in France during the 1960s, his work remains virtually unknown to the English speaking world. His writings reflect his constant concern for understanding the true sources of the rebellion manifesting itself in the French factories and universities, coming to a head in May 1968. But Mallet's concerns are universal, notwithstanding his French orientation. His essays in this volume furnish insight into the nature of the oppression experienced by nearly all workers in advanced capitalist countries.
