Assignment 1: Book Review
Length: 1000 words
Instructions: Write a review of Beverly Silver’s Forces of Labor. Since the review will be short you need to think carefully about what the main points of the book really are, and avoid everything that is not absolutely essential to the arguments presented in the book. This “bare bones” approach will help you to develop the theoretical tools you can use to analyse the material in subsequent course units.
