The author tries to deal with Labour history’s decline, confronting its downfall starting from the 1970s and approaching some crucial passages into the theorical debate, before and after that fundamental decade. The review stresses the recent input given by the large area of interests defined by Global Labour history. GLH has been able to interrogate the past in a new way, enlarging temporal, geographical and thematical perspectives. The new attention to precariousness is noted as the symbolic object of a historiography emancipated from the centrality of salaried work.

Keywords: global labour history, intersectionality, flexibility, precarity, working class, subjectivity
