Description

The Liminal Worker offers a theoretically-informed anthropological exploration of work, employment, and precariousness in contemporary Greece during a period of high unemployment and welfare state crisis. This book challenges mainstream economic conceptions of work by presenting it as a social phenomenon rather than a purely productive activity. Drawing on original empirical research, the author examines how employment insecurity shapes lived experience and connects to broader processes of political decision-making in modern western society. Published by Routledge, this Urban Anthropology volume provides comparative analysis and key insights into the transformation of work in crisis contexts, making it essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding labour dynamics, social vulnerability, and the realities of precarious employment in contemporary Europe.
