Class Structure in Australian History[1] is a work of Australian social history, written by Terry Irving and Raewyn Connell. Published in 1979 by Longman Cheshire, It is considered a definitive work of the Australian New Left.[2] It studies the development of social classes, periodising the political economy of capitalism in Australia.

Overview

Terry Irving and Raewyn Connell collaborated in the Radical Free University project in Sydney,[3] and shared a concern with class methodology and the portrayal of resistance in social history. The aim of the project was the pursuit of socialist strategy, as they remarked: “Our intention is political —to help people gain a clear understanding of the patterns of class relations they live in and have to act on here and now”.[4] Furthermore, taking inspiration from E.P. Thompson, they rejected a moralisation of the working class:
