This collection of essays looks at the origins and expansion of different patterns of breadwinning in both western and non-western history. As a collection it provides new insights into the historical and cross-cultural development of the male breadwinner family and its determinants, and, as such, it provides an important contribution to the ongoing debate on patterns of breadwinning. An important range of factors previously undervalued in the debate are considered: the effects of local labour markets in interaction with family strategies and family values; employers' strategies and the effects of capital accumulation and the rise of international commercial networks; the effects of egalitarian communist ideologies; and the differential ways in which modern welfare states were constructed. The volume calls for a renewed research effort in order to reconstruct the male breadwinner family as the norm and to work towards the integration of different explanatory models

In recent years feminist scholars have called for a complete rethinking and revision of the foundations of labour history as a necessary prerequisite for the integration of gender as a core concept into histories of labour and social class. In this attempt one of the most deeply rooted assumptions in male-oriented labour history needs to be identified and made subject to careful rethinking, namely the assumption that the public and the private sphere should be seen in terms of an essentially gendered opposition. Undoubtedly, one of the most powerful images used not only to represent but also to justify the gendering of the public and the private sphere is the image of the male breadwinner family and the male household head as the sole provider for his dependent wife and children. For this reason, the articles in this volume are all firmly at the heart of what may currently be seen as the crucial intersections in the history of labour, gender and social class.

This 1999 Supplement of the International Review of Social History focuses on complicating central concepts in the understanding of economic and social history: class, gender, race and ethnicity. In concentrating on industrial workers, their politics, and institutions, labor and working-class history had tended to ignore gender, race, and ethnicity as discursive and material forces. It discussed the woman or black or immigrant worker as a subset of worker, assumed to be male, white, and of the dominant national or ethnic group. Only during recent years have historians began to ask how gender, race, and ethnicity as categories of analysis change narratives of class formation and working-class experience. This question has become particularly salient as the European Union and the United States seek to grapple with the human consequences of colonial and imperialist legacies both within and beyond national boundaries in an increasingly global economy.

Nous cherchons à identifier les facteurs qui influent sur les regroupements spatiaux de longévité, et qui permettent de repérer si les avantages en termes de survie interviennent à une période précoce de l'existence ou plus tard, ou encore tout au long de l'existence. Pour reconstruire la vie d'une cohorte d'habitants de la Zélande nés entre 1812 et 1862, nous nous appuyons sur les données de mortalité reconstituées pour une période de 150 ans à partir de 1812. Nous avons pu prouver l'existence de regroupements de longévité pour les femmes. Les modèles spatiaux de longévité étaient identiques pour les hommes mais n'étaient pas signifiants sur le plan statistique. Pour les deux sexes, l'environnement influe sur les individus pendant leur vie entière et pas seulement au début ou plus tardivement. Les cadres conceptuels nécessaires pour expliquer l'existence de regroupements de longévité sont d'ores et déjà largement posés dans l'historiographie. Les habitants de municipalités voisines présentent des similitudes dans leurs chances de vivre longtemps parce que leurs lieux de résidence ont les mêmes façons culturales, connaissent la même pression démographique et les mêmes niveaux de pauvreté. Ces facteurs environnementaux n'influent pas seulement sur les chances individuelles de vivre longtemps mais expliquent aussi pourquoi la longévité connaît un regroupement spatial. Nos découvertes soulignent l'importance de l'environnement de vie pour qu'un individu ait la chance de vivre longtemps, et montrent que le regroupement spatial de la longévité en Zélande s'explique par une interaction entre l'activité humaine et l'environnement de vie.
