Discusses the history and historiography of the Swiss labour movement with reference to defining events such as the 1848 civil war, the 1918 general strike, the growth of the political left, and the student radicalism of the 1960s. Concludes that although substantial scholarship has emerged since the 1960s, there is still much work to be done, such as women in the labour movement and studies that integrate the rich and varied history of the working class, including the relationship with Swiss bourgeois society.
