Working for Oil cover

This volume examines the social history of oil workers and investigates how labor relations have shaped the global oil industry during the twentieth century and today. It brings together the work of scholars from a range of disciplines, approaching the social, political, economic and cultural dimensions of oil. The contributors analyze a number of key oil producing regions, including the Americas, the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Europe and Africa.

“The book’s objective is to show some of the diversity of labour relations in the sector, rather than be comprehensive, and in this it succeeds. … Working for Oil is a valuable and distinctive addition to research on the evolution of the global oil industry, and will be of interest to anyone who cares about industrial relations and the agency of labour in this sector.” (Gavin Bridge, Journal of Industrial Relations, Vol. 61 (2), April, 2019)
