Based on long-term fieldwork, six vivid ethnographies from
Colombia, India, Poland, Spain and the southern and northern U.S.
address the dwindling importance of labor throughout the world. The
contributors to this volume highlight the growing disconnect
between labor struggles and the advancement of the greater common
good, a phenomenon that has grown since the 1980s. The collection
illustrates the defeat and unmaking of particular working classes,
and it develops a comparative perspective on the uneven
consequences of and reactions to this worldwide project. Blood and
Fire charts a course within global anthropology to address the
widespread precariousness and the prevalence of insecure and
informal labor in the twenty-first century.
This is the first critical account of the internationally renowned
Mondragon cooperatives of the Basque region of Spain. The Mondragon
cooperatives are seen as the leading alternative model to standard
industrial organization; they are considered to be the most
successful example of democratic decision making and worker
ownership.
The Routledge Handbook of the Anthropology of Labor offers a
cross-cultural examination of labor around the world and presents
the breadth of a growing and vital subfield of anthropology. As we
enter a new crisis-ridden age, some laboring people are protected,
while others face impoverishment and death, as they work in unsafe
conditions, migrate to gain livelihoods, languish in the unwaged
sector, and become targets of law enforcement. The contributions to
this volume address questions surrounding the categorization and
visibility of work, the relationship of labor to the state, and how
divisions of labor map onto racial, gendered, sexual, and national
inequalities. In addition to the emotional dimensions and
subjectivities of labor, the book also examines how laborers can
articulate common experiences and identities, build organizational
forms, and claim power together. Bringing together the work of an
impressive group of international scholars, this Handbook is
essential for anthropologists with an interest in labor and
political economy, as well as useful for scholars and students in
related fields such as sociology and geography.
