Synopsis:

Coercion and Wage Labour presents new accounts of people who experienced physical, social, political or cultural compulsion in paid work. It firmly shows that remuneration is no protection from coercion. Illustrations by invited artists create a dialogue with the text, making these global labour histories accessible for interdisciplinary audiences.
