This edited collection examines the gig economy in the age of
convergence from a critical political economic perspective.
Contributions explore how media, technology, and labor are
converging to create new modes of production, as well as new modes
of resistance. From rideshare drivers in Los Angeles to domestic
workers in Delhi, from sex work to podcasting, this book draws
together research that examines the gig economy's exploitation of
workers and their resistance. Employing critical theoretical
perspectives and methodologies in a variety of national contexts,
contributors consider the roles that media, policy, culture, and
history, as well as gender, race, and ethnicity play in forging
working conditions in the 'gig economy'. Contributors examine the
complex and historical relationships between media and gig work
integral to capitalism with the aim of exposing and, ultimately,
ending exploitation. This book will appeal to students and scholars
examining questions of technology, media, and labor across media
and communication studies, information studies, and labor studies
as well as activists, journalists, and policymakers.
