Revolutionizing Retail [electronic resource] : Workers, Political Action, and Social Change /
Coulter, K.author.

Before Revolutionizing Retail, no scholar had captured or analysed the breadth of political action being pursued in this crucial economic sector. This book was awarded the Canadian Association for Work and Labour Studies 2015 Book Prize.
