Anthony Woodiwiss is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex. His previous books include Social Theory After Postmodernism, Rights versus Conspiracy: A Sociological Essay on the Development of Labour Law in the United States and Law, Labour and Society in Japan: From Repression to Reluctant Recognition.
