Book review: Lina Dencik and Peter Wilkin, Worker Resistance and Media: Challenging Global Corporate Power in the 21st Century
- Abstract:
-
This book makes timely contributions in two areas of interest to Work, employment and society readers. First, a unique up-to-date labour movement history based around the tension between authoritarianism and libertarianism – which the authors argue to be a fundamental axis in the organization of social life. Second, an empirical account and analysis of the potential of four recent high profile labour mobilizations to further libertarianism. Of particular interest is the role of social media in aiding these mobilizations. Four case studies of labour mobilizations are covered: Justice for Janitors (JFJ) in the USA; Justice for Cleaners (JFC) in the UK; Fast Food Forward (FFF) in the USA; and domestic workers in Hong Kong and Singapore.
