Abstract
Abstract The other day I was talking with a graduate student in history at UCLA. She described a labor historian in her department as an “old neo-Marxist” because he was still working in the tradition of E.P. Thompson, still clinging to the sixties. Meanwhile, she has moved on to post-modernism, and sees these ideas as outdated. I thought, if he is an old neo-Marxist, what does that make me? I never fully cottoned on to the winds of change brought about by Thompson. I may be stuck in the thirties! So what I have to say are the words of a relic. Nevertheless, I shall try to defend that position.
