and thoughtful book about labor and principles' Rebecca Solnit 'A
writer in the tradition of George Orwell and Martha Gellhorn' Corey
Robin 'Confronts a series of deep and vexing moral questions...
penetrating, astutely observed, beautifully written' Patrick Radden
Keefe Guards who patrol the wards of America's most violent and
abusive prisons; undocumented immigrants who man the 'kill floors'
of industrial slaughterhouses; drone operators who kill people from
thousands of miles away. These are the essential workers we prefer
not to think about. Their morally dubious, often physically violent
and dangerous activity sustains modern society yet is concealed
from our gaze. It is work that falls disproportionately in deprived
areas, on immigrants and people of colour, and entails a less
familiar set of occupational hazards - stigma, shame and moral
injury. A striking, sophisticated and nuanced investigation, Dirty
Work will change the way you think about society.
