The New Social Division Making and Unmaking Precariousness [Hardcover]

This volume addresses issues of precariousness in a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, looking at socio-economic transformations as well as the identity formation and political organizing of precarious people. The collection bridges empirical research with social theory to problematize and analyse the precariat.

The collection offers some valuable contributions to the existing body of knowledge. & the book is strong on its diverse analytical dimensions, which reveal the manifold character of the precarisation process. It brings important contributions to the debate by offering a contextual understanding of the triggers behind, experiences of and struggles against precariousness.
