The condition of precariousness not only provides insights into a
segment of the world of work or of a particular subject group, but
is also a standpoint for an overview of the condition of the social
on a global scale. Because precariousness is multidimensional and
polysemantic, it traverses contemporary society and multiple
contexts, from industrial to class, gender, family relations as
well as political participation, citizenship and migration. This
book maps the differences and similarities in the ways
precariousness and insecurity in employment and beyond unfold and
are subjectively 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 chapters
explore the shift from precariousness to precariat and collective
subjects as it is being articulated in the current global crisis.
This edited collection aims to continue a process of mapping
experiences by means of ethnographies, fieldwork, interviews,
content analysis, where the precarious define their condition and
explain how they try to withdraw from, cope with or embrace it.
This is valuable reading for students and academics interested in
geography, sociology, economics and labour studies.
