Palgrave Macmillan, 2018. New and unread. Just a touch of very mild shelfwear to the cover (like you sometimes find in any new book store). Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked - obviously never read. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. List of bibliographical references after each chapter. Bound in the original reddish pictorial laminated boards. From the rear cover: "This critical, international and interdisciplinary edited collection investigates the new normal of work and employment, presenting research on the experience of the workers themselves. The collection explores the formation of contemporary worker subjects, and the privilege or disadvantage in play around gender, class, age and national location within the global workforce. Organised around the three areas of: creative working, digital working lives, and transitions and transformations, its fifteen chapters examine in detail the emerging norms of work and work activities in a range of occupations and locations. It also investigates the coping strategies adopted by workers to manage novel difficulties and life circumstances, and their understandings of the possibilities, trajectories, mobilities, identities and potential rewards of their work situations. This book will appeal to a wide range of audiences, including students and academics of the sociology of work and labor history, and those interested in understanding the implications of the new normal of work and employment.". First Edition. Hardcover. New. 8vo. ix, 356pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…
