Yet despite the highly insecure and exploitative working conditions they routinely face, labour mobilisations by precarious workers are rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this immersive portrait of the daily realities of precarious migrant labour, Panos Theodoropoulos found work in Glasgow’s warehouses, factories and kitchens to uncover the ways that precarity is lived and contested. Connecting the realms of structure, subjectivity and culture, his analysis shows that precarity not only dictates workers’ labour conditions but socialises them in an individualist, survival-oriented struggle that erodes solidarities and enforces its own neoliberal logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrucially, however, precarity and the wider neoliberal culture are unable to erase workers’ material awareness and experience of class injustice. This points to the possibility of forging strong connections and methods of resistance, firmly grounded in the lives and communities of precarious workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlending interviews, ethnographic notes and social theory, \u003cem\u003eThe Precarious Migrant Worker\u003c\/em\u003e offers a unique glimpse into our increasingly precarious social reality and will be a valuable resource for scholars, students and activists interested in issues of migration, precarity and resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47433014345964,"sku":"9781509564996","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509564996.jpg?v=1774765807"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/panos-theodoropoulos.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
