Struggle in a Time of Crisis

Wits Phd Candidate Mbuso Nkosi and senior researcher Nicolas Pons-Vignon

Struggle in a Time of Crisis brings together essays by an array of distinguished global contributors who are devoted to working with labor movements and their allies around the world to stimulate debate about the challenges facing labour groups and activists amid increasing globalisation. Arguing that labour is a crucial social force in this time of economic disparity, the essays in this volume look specifically at such examples as the Indonesian sportswear industry, Chinese construction companies in Africa, mining in South Africa, job quality in Europe, and the role of international aid. It is a wide-ranging look at the current state of the labour crisis around the world.

Struggle in a Time of Crisis is edited by Nicolas Pons-Vignon & Mbuso Nkosi and published by Pluto Press

Pons-Vignon and Nkosi also edit the Global Labour Column
