Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. "Richard Edwards, in Contested Terrain, takes a radical political-economic approach and investigates the history of capitalist management control strategies in the American workplace. He makes a significant contribution to the literature on the labor process as he draws upon, but goes well beyond, his own previous work. He argues that the capitalist workplace is a "contested terrain" - an arena of conflict between workers and management." (from a 1981 review by Ira Brous).
