Zusammenfassung
- This book presents a visual chronicle of the Jordanian labour movement from its early days to the present time. It stands out from other previous publications on the Jordanian labour movement by its reliance on visual materials, especially photographs. These photographs and other visual sources serve as visual documents and significant information source. This illustrated book on the history of the labour movement is an unprecedented effort in the historical documentation of social movements in the Arab world, which rely primarily on documents and written narratives, with photographs acting as a "complementary" element to the text. This book is organized into 12 chapters that detail the rise and evolution of wage labour in Transjordan in the Ottoman era, as well as the emergence of the Jordanian labour movement since 1954 to the present. The chapters feature around 140 photographs and visual materials. This book serves as a tribute to the Jordanian labour movement and its early pioneers, and marks the 70th anniversary of its inception (1954/2024).
