Mapping Precariousness, Labour Insecurity and Uncertain Livelihoods

This book maps the differences and similarities in the ways precariousness and insecurity in employment unfold and are experienced in regions and sectors that are confronted with different labour histories, legislations and economic priorities. Establishing a constructive dialogue amongst different global regions and across disciplines, the authors explore the shift from precariousness to precariat and collective subjects as it is being articulated in the current global crisis. Offering a critical analysis of contemporary forms of production and labour policies, this book aims to understand and develop new conceptual tool and practices from the standpoint of those affected by precariousness.
