I was going to post a photo of me holding this book HOT OFF THE PRESS but my airline has lost my luggage so have a read of this blog post and then go and get a copy of @ptheodoropoulos.bsky.social's new book. I have read it and it's brilliant! Also ask for your institutional library to buy a copy.
The socialization of precarity may be forged through the sweat, blood & anxieties of migrant workers’ daily experiences – but it feeds on the desire for dignity, autonomy, security & strength. Hence its insidious power.
