Abstract

Holdren shows throughout these two epochs that the pursuit of justice for those injured or killed at work could and often did result in their marginalization, invisibility, and discrimination. The former, Holdren defines as the period in which injured workers sought justice for their injuries in the courts, finding them often unsympathetic venues that perpetuated suffering while sometime recognizing it. That actuaries and courts debated the matter at all captures well the inhumanity that informs Holdren's steady and unyielding moral gaze at the impoverishment of social discourse on workplace accidents.
