Book synopsis

For each case, Steinberg closely examines the labour process, industrial organization, social life, community politics, discursive struggles and collective actions. By describing how workers shared experiences of exploitation and oppression in their daily lives, he shows how discourses of contention were products of struggle and how they framed possibilities for collective action. Embracing work in literary theory, sociocultural psychology and cultural studies, the book claims a middle ground between postmodern and materialist analyses.
