Description

Move beyond the superficial advertising images of smiling service workers to understand the real human experience. Service Work: Critical Perspectives by Routledge examines the reality of labor in the service sector, looking past the fairy tale depictions often found in media. While many empirical studies exist regarding different types of service work, there has been a lack of progress in theorizing the fundamental nature of the work itself. This book addresses that gap by bringing together major scholars from the US and UK. Through various lenses within the sociology of work and related literatures, this collection provides a deep look into the lived experiences of those in the service industry. It is an essential resource for students, academics, and researchers looking for a theoretical framework to understand service work as a distinct field of study. By connecting diverse scholarly perspectives, the text helps readers navigate the complex social and economic realities of modern service labor.
