Austerity and Working-Class Resistance - Survival, Disruption and Creation in Hard TimesPaperback / softback
The working classes today are facing a new set of crises around increasing austerity, authoritarianism, exploitation, and surveillance. From new forms of workplace organisation, migrant workers challenging their exploitation, struggles against digitalised work, and through alternative forms of grassroots mobilisation, working-class resistance is emerging in new and often unexpected spaces. But in many places, and in many ways, they are resisting.
This engaging volume is an attempt to understand how new, dynamic sites of resistance in and outside the workplace are central to the different ways in which workers survive, Through a range of cases in Europe and from around the world, this book brings radical voices from sociology, political economy, labour relations, and media studies to offer an understanding of the potential of working-class struggles in and against these 'hard times'.
