AUTHOR

Dubofsky, Melvyn

SUMMARY

An unusual opportunity to compare the social science perspectives that prevail in the United States and the Soviet Union was provided by the third US--USSR Colloquium on World Labour and Social Change. Essays topics range widely, covering both contemporary and historical analyses, developed and developing countries, and capitalist and socialist states. The book illustrates the different ways in which scholars in the USA and USSR analyse comparable phenomena: technological change, economic and social structure, and working class behaviour. For example, while the Soviet authors view economic or technological change as the driving force behind 'consciousness', the American writers treat 'consciousness' as a contentious concept that must be dealt with in an open-ended manner.Dubofsky, Melvyn is the author of 'Technological Change and Workers' Movements' with ISBN 9780835784580 and ISBN 0835784584.
