Labor and Empire is a detailed scholarly investigation into the evolving relationship between the British labor movement and the expansion of British imperialism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Focusing on the period beginning in 1880, Tingfu F. Tsiang examines how labor representatives, particularly those within the British Parliament, formulated and expressed their views on the nation's overseas territories and colonial policies.

The work provides a rigorous analysis of the ideological challenges faced by a movement dedicated to domestic social and economic reform as it encountered the global realities of the British Empire. Tsiang explores the tensions between internationalist ideals and the practicalities of governance, documenting the transition of British labor from a peripheral political voice to a major force in imperial discourse.
