Description
A compelling investigation into the phenomenon of dirty work - labour that society considers essential, but morally compromised. A New Statesman Book of the Year This book will prompt a public reckoning with inequality in work Michael J. Sandel A scathing 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 KeefeGuards who patrol the wards of Americas 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.
