These two books look very different: the Berberoglu collection deals almost exclusively with work and workers in the United States' economy (despite its subtitle), and the Waterman book deals mostly with labor internationalism. Yet they both highlight the conceptual and substantive issues that labor theorists and researchers have in coming to terms with the so-called age of globalization. This is all the more pertinent as both books are for the most part updates of previous publications. Berberoglu's volume is a new edition of his well-received (in left circles at least) The Labor Process and Control of Labor (1991), and Waterman's book is squarely based on his ongoing contributions to the Working Papers series of the Institute of Social Studies at The Hague.
