Description

The Liminal Worker provides an anthropological look at the realities of employment, insecurity, and precariousness within modern Greece. Published by Routledge, this book explores how high unemployment and welfare state crises shape the lives of individuals in contemporary Western society. Instead of viewing work as a simple economic or productive activity, this text presents a comparative analysis of work as a social phenomenon. It connects personal experiences of labor to broader political decision-making processes. By using original empirical research, the book offers a deep look into the transformation of work and its social implications. This is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in urban anthropology and the sociological impacts of economic instability.

Key Features

Built on original empirical research to provide authentic insights into contemporary Greek society.

Examines the specific impacts of high unemployment and welfare state crises on the modern workforce.
