People at Work is noted sociologist Marjorie L. DeVault's
groundbreaking collection of original essays on the complexities of
the modern-day workplace. By focusing on the lived experiences of
the worker, not as an automaton on an assembly line, but as an
embodied human of flesh and bone, these essays offer important
insight on the realities of the workplace, and their effects on
life at home and in communities. With contributions from some of
today's top scholars, each essay is a detailed case study of a
different aspect of the working world.
Compelling, lively, and sometimes chilling, the contributors
address issues from disability rights to immigrant labor, welfare
reforms to budget cuts, competition to personal motivations. Each
one valuable on its own, the essays in People at Work combine to
illuminate the hurdles that workers of all backgrounds struggle
with and, more broadly, the impact of change on workers' lives in
the new, increasingly global, economy.
