Indeed, when she started her research for the book, she’d been appalled by the lack of suitable materials, as well as by the fact that what little has been written tends to be Eurocentric, ignoring the issues of globalization confronted by places like Vietnam, Turkey and parts of Africa.

  Manual Labor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manual labor is a term used for physical work done with the hands, especially in an unskilled manual job such as fruit and vegetable picking, road building, or any other field where the work may be considered hard or arduous, which has as its objective the production of goods.
In ancient times, the status of manual laborers was low, as most physical tasks were done by slaves.
The reduction in status led to the worldwide labor movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries, leading to the formation of trade unions.

 MANUAL TRAINING MOVEMENT
Manual training would instead be an enhancement to the traditional curriculum, not a replacement, and would thereby help achieve the full development and potential of the individual.
Initial introduction of manual training ideas into the schools at large was encouraged on the basis of the perceived economic benefits to the boy or girl receiving the training and to the overall economy of the region.
As manual training programs were developed in schools by adding study in the areas of drafting or mechanics, the curriculum retained its rigorous preparation for college entrance requirements and, unlike vocational programs today, did not represent any educational dead end for the student.

 THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 18, Ch. 249, Normal Pregnancy, Labor, And Delivery
Labor consists of a series of rhythmic, progressive contractions of the uterus that cause effacement and dilation of the uterine cervix.
In a first pregnancy, labor usually lasts a maximum of 12 to 14 h; subsequent labors are often shorter, averaging 6 to 8 h.
If labor is active and the pregnancy is at term, a labor-and-delivery nurse or a physician performs a vaginal examination with a gloved hand to evaluate labor's progress.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Are religious bound to manual labor?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Wherefore we find that the Apostle prescribed manual labor merely as a remedy for the sin of those who gained their livelihood by unlawful means.
Accordingly those who devote themselves publicly to the aforesaid spiritual works are thereby exempt from manual labor for two reasons: first, because it behooves them to be occupied exclusively with such like works; secondly, because those who devote themselves to such works have a claim to be supported by those for whose advantage they work.
On the other hand, those who devote themselves to such works not publicly but privately as it were, ought not on that account to be exempt from manual labor, nor have they a claim to be supported by the offerings of the faithful, and it is of these that Augustine is speaking.

 Women at Work: Manual Labor
Although traditional, gender-based divisions of labor dictated women's tasks, the contributions of wives and daughters were vital to the economy of pre-industrial communities.
The new industrialists wanted women to constitute this new labor force because they could be paid less, but also because a workforce based on age and gender seemed to avoid the problem of creating a permanent working class.
It was hoped that the young women would work for a few years in the factories and then return to their rural hometowns to marry and raise children, ensuring that the United States could industrialize while still retaining its agrarian character.

The term "lost labor" can derive from the effects of mechanization, computer automation, technological advances, or through the consequences of corporate takeovers, downsizing and globalization.
These images are not intended to evoke feelings of nostalgia, or the desire to return to a simpler era when "real work" was done with sweat and muscle but rather to honor the role of labor, a reminder of the individuals who helped to build industrial America.
