Abstract: the chapters in this part all explore labour geographies in a historical context. The focus is upon Scottish workers challenging a transnational US firm in the early 1900s; Peruvian miners confronting US mining capital over the past century; seafarers organising on ships and linking ports in the UK with those in various British colonies and elsewhere in the post-WWII era; and efforts to decasualise dockworker hiring in the Port of New York in the 1950s.
