Description

Book Synopsis
An interdisciplinary analysis that draws from interviews, official documents, and media reports to pursue different directions in the study of the cultural and cognitive aspects of political activism. This work aims to instigate a dialogue among students of culture, labor and social movements, welfare policy, and urban political economy.

Trade Review
"Brimming with novel analyses and methodological strategies, Free Labor presents both a compelling analysis of the rise of workfare as a neoliberal policy project and a fine-grained examination of the travails and partial successes of anti-WEP coalitions." - Marc Steinberg, author of Fighting Words"
