In his recent work, Guy Standing has identified a new class which
has emerged from neo-liberal restructuring with, he argues, the
revolutionary potential to change the world: the precariat. This,
according to Standing, is 'a class-in-the-making, internally
divided into angry and bitter factions' consisting of 'a multitude
of insecure people, living bits-and-pieces lives, in and out of
short-term jobs, without a narrative of occupational development,
including millions of frustrated educated youth..., millions of
women abused in oppressive labour, growing numbers of criminalised
tagged for life, millions being categorised as "disabled" and
migrants in their hundreds of millions around the world. They are
denizens; they have a more restricted range of social, cultural,
political and economic rights than citizens around them'. This
present book explores the nature, shape and context of precariat,
evaluating the internal consistency and applications of the
concept. Demonstrating the sheer breadth and depth of application,
the chapters cover a wide-range of topics, from the relationships
between precariat and authoritarianism, multitude (another concept
to achieve popular consciousness), and place as well as the nature
of precarious identities and subjectivities among those working in
immaterial labour. The book concludes with a reply by Standing to
reviews of Precariat. This book was published as a special issue of
Global Discourse.
