Beyond the Wage
This volume challenges the idea of wage employment as the global norm, comparing lived experiences of 'ordinary work' across conceptual and geographical boundaries, and opening up new possibilities for how work, income, identity and care might be woven together differently.
Reclaiming Work
Over the last twenty-five years, Western societies have been reversing into the future.
Beyond the Wage
Recent developments in the organization of work and production have facilitated the decline of wage employment in many regions of the world. However, the idea of the wage continues to dominate the political imaginations of governments, researchers and activists, based on the historical experiences of industrial workers in the global North. This edited collection revitalises debates on the future of work by challenging the idea of wage employment as the global norm. Taking theoretical inspiration from the global South, the authors compare lived experiences of ‘ordinary work’ across taken-for-granted conceptual and geographical boundaries; from Cambodian brick kilns to Catalonian cooperatives. Their contributions open up new possibilities for how work, identity and security might be woven together differently. This volume is an invaluable resource for academics, students and readers interested in alternative and emerging forms of work around the world.
