Abstract

In this review of Revaluing Work(res), I argue that the labor studies approach must move forward in two directions. First, it must anchor the conversation on the future of work in the concept of “creative destruction” and in doing so advocate a socialist alternative to organizing production. Second, it must highlight the specific legacy of Black labor in the afterlife of slavery in the forms of labor control that characterize new forms of work.

奴隶制后的创造性毁灭——评《改造工作：走向民主和可持续的未来》

在这篇关于改造工作的综述中，我认为劳动研究方法必须朝着两个方向前进。首先，它必须将关于未来工作的对话锚定在“创造性破坏”的概念中，并在这样做的过程中倡导一种社会主义的生产组织替代方案。其次，它必须强调黑人劳动力在奴隶制死后的具体遗产，即新工作形式所特有的劳动力控制形式。

期刊介绍： The Labor Studies Journal is the official journal of the United Association for Labor Education and is a multi-disciplinary journal publishing research on work, workers, labor organizations, and labor studies and worker education in the US and internationally. The Journal is interested in manuscripts using a diversity of research methods, both qualitative and quantitative, directed at a general audience including union, university, and community based labor educators, labor activists and scholars from across the social sciences and humanities. As a multi-disciplinary journal, manuscripts should be directed at a general audience, and care should be taken to make methods, especially highly quantitative ones, accessible to a general reader.
