Breadwinners and Citizens

Gender in the Making of the French Social Model

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"In this valuable book, Laura Levine Frader focuses on the French social model, the ideal of egalitarian social citizenship shaped and refined in the first half of the twentieth century. She argues that it was systematically undermined by employers, organized labor, and the state itself through practices and policies that built into it gender and anti-immigrant biases. Her insights, methods, and conclusions will be interesting to historians of other industrial societies whose welfare states are today under challenge from women and immigrant workers seeking equality of treatment."--Herman Lebovics, SUNY Trustees Distinguished Professor, Stony Brook University, author of "Bringing the Empire Back Home: France in the Global Age"
