Reviews
"""A much needed volume that brings to centre stage the diversity of ordinary work. It convincingly challenges the capitalocentric focus on wage employment as the only 'real' job."" Katherine Gibson, Western Sydney University ""Challenging assumptions that restrict and hierarchise most thinking about work, this exciting collection draws from experiences across the globe to help us imagine new futures."" Bridget Anderson, University of Bristol ""Giving voice to stories of contemporary work the world over, this book projects a shared perspective that complicates easy paths from the present reality of work to its possible futures."" Frederick Harry Pitts, University of Bristol ""This book offers an innovative response to widespread contemporary concerns that we are increasingly facing a job-scarce future by rejecting the Eurocentric roots of this concern. The volume demonstrates how much we can all learn by turning to the Global South, to sites in which people's engagement with fairly different strategies for work distribution and compensation have resulted in labour practices that can shed much needed light on contemporary work around the world."" Ilana Gershon, Indiana University"
