Description

Winner of the Society for the Anthropology of Work book prize 2017.

Work and Livelihoods presents a global range of ethnographic case studies to explore the ways in which, in the context of the restructuring of industrial work, the ongoing financial crisis, and the surge in unemployment and precarious employment, local and global actors engage with complex social processes and devise ideological, political, and economic responses to them.

It shows how the reorganisation and re-signification of work, notably shifts in the perception and valorisation of work, affect domestic and community arrangements and shape the conditions of life of workers and their families.
