Dock Workers
Author: Sam Davies
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351943251
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 880
Book Description
Workers who loaded and unloaded ships have formed a distinctive occupational group over the past two centuries. As trade expanded so the numbers of dock labourers increased and became concentrated in the major ports of the world. This ambitious two-volume project goes beyond existing individual studies of dock workers to develop a genuinely comparative international perspective over a long historical period. Volume 1 contains studies of 22 major ports worldwide. Built around an agreed framework of issues, these 'port studies' examine the type of workers who dominated dock labour, their race, class and ethnicity, the working conditions of dockers and the role of government as employer, arbitrator and supporter. The studies also detail how dockers organized their labour, patterns of strike action and involvement in political organizations. The structure of the port city is also outlined and descriptions given of the waterside environment. These areas of investigation form the basis for a series of 11 thematic studies which comprise Volume 2. Drawing on the information provided in the port studies, these essays identify important aspects and recurring themes, and explain how and why particular cases diverge from the rest. The final chapter of the book synthesizes the various approaches taken to offer a model which suggests several configurations of dock labour and presents suggestions for future research. This major scholarly achievement represents the most sustained attempt to date to provide a comparative international history of dock labour. An annotated bibliography completes this essential reference work.

Meeting Jesus and Following Him
Author: Francis Cardinal Arinze
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1681493365
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
Drawn from his retreat talks given to Pope Benedict and his associates at the papal household, Cardinal Arinze offers inspiring spiritual exercises focusing on the meaning of the priestly life. ಜThe red thread which will run through all these meditations,ಝ writes Cardinal Arinze, ಜis the image of the priest who, called by Jesus, meets him, follows him and seeks each day to become a better disciple.ಝ Although the Cardinal refers to ಜpriestsಝ, he insists that much of what he says applies to anyone in ordained ministry - deacons, priests and bishops. In fact, even lay people and religious can greatly benefit from prayerfully reading his reflections on being a disciple of the Lord. ಜFor every human being, for every Christian, and even more for every priest, Jesus Christ gives meaning to lifeಝ, writes Cardinal Arinze. ಜHe gives a sense of unity to all the things in which we are engaged. Jesus indicates the correct direction for our life because he is the way, the truth and the life (cf Jn 14:6). In these meditations we shall have in front of us the priest who meets Jesus and follows him.ಝ
