Books by Nick Mansfield

This book offers the first encounter between labour history and military history, with an analysis of the working lives of nineteenth British rank and file soldiers in the context of a developing working class industrial culture and in its interaction with British society.

Outlines Jacques Derrida's thinking on sovereignty in relation to subjectivity through an investigation of the late work "Rogues: Two Essays on Reason". This book detects in Derrida's thinking of sovereignty - a theme that increasingly attracted him towards the end of his life - the outline of Bataille's adaptation of Freud.
