Abstract
Jonathan Handel writes about issues surrounding labor relations and industrial democracy in the Hollywood entertainment industry.
His latest book, Entertainment Labor: An Interdisciplinary Bibliography, is extremely well researched, providing both depth and breadth in its coverage. The bibliography consists of 30 chapters and is multi-disciplinary, including social science articles and books, legal articles and books, and books about labor and class. Entertainment Labor includes numerous annotations, a 90-page index, a detailed chapter on materials available from unions and guilds themselves, capsule descriptions of legal cases, page references, and URLs.
Handel references a wide range of relevant material from books, reports, articles, theses and dissertations, websites and blogs, audiovisual material, and statutes and regulations. The two largest sections—“Legal Articles and Reports” (40 pages) and “Foreign Organizations” (10 pages)—demonstrate the extensive references.
The bibliography would be useful to academics, attorneys, or legal scholars who study or work with the entertainment unions and graduate students interested in entertainment labor issues. It is a user-friendly and accessible bibliography to assist research in the field.
