Review Quotes:
"It is against such expansive theoretical terrain that Armano, Bove and Murgia's edited volume sets out to trace the contours and expand on current conceptualisations. Suitably subtitled Subjectivities and Resistance: An Introduction, the volume considers the structural context of precarious work, yet goes beyond and engages with the grainy, casual and colloquial body of precarious narratives that emerge from the grass-roots and are in danger of being overlooked. The book is divided into three parts, investigating the precarious experience on three different levels and from three different standpoints."
Constantine Manolchev, University of Exeter Business School, UK, Work, employment and society Journal
"Angela Mitropoulos's final, summary chapter is particularly noteworthy as it connects the precarity of labour market structures with the precariousness of existence in a mosaic of markets, state policy, labour valorisation and regulative order. It restates the continued scope for individual resistance in the face of precarious odds, reminding that the volume is equally concerned with past trends, and the direction of future travel."The British Sociological Association Journal
"This book represents an important work if we are to understand the transformations happening in the world of work, of professional life and, also, its repercussions in everyday life and the sphere of reproduction and care"
