Endorsements
Revisiting Divisions of Labour is a reflection on the making of a modern sociological classic and its enduring influence on the discipline and beyond. Ray Pahl's 1984 book is distinctive in the sustained impact it has had on how sociologists think about, research and report on the changing nature of work and domestic life. In this timely revisiting of a landmark project, excerpts from the original are interspersed with contributions from leading researchers reflecting on the book and its effects in the ensuing three decades. Following an introduction in which Graham Crow and Jamie Ellis outline the book's structure and purpose, Tim Strangleman considers how the story of deindustrialisation has become all too familiar, while Jonathan Gershuny reflects on the way in which the growth of informal economic activity turned out not to be straightforwardly the other side of that process. Claire Wallace traces the wider implications of the detailed findings about the people of one locality, the Isle of Sheppey, and Dawn Lyon reports on the results of returning to Sheppey a generation later to undertake further research there. Jane Elliott and Jon Lawrence focus their attention on the significance for the study of one couple, Linda and Jim, and John Holmwood locates the book's theory of social stratification and social change in relation to Pahl's role as a sociological controversialist. Finally, Mike Savage provides broader reflections in the epilogue. This book will be of interest to researchers, students and lecturers in sociology and related disciplines.
