Description

Self-Organised Workers’ Struggles in the Twenty-First Century

Edited by Dario Azzellini and Michael G. Kraft
Haymarket Books

The Class Strikes Back examines a number of radical, twenty-first-century workers’ struggles. These struggles are characterized by a different kind of unionism and solidarity, arising out of new kinds of labor conditions and responsive to new kinds of social and economic marginalization. The essays in the collection demonstrate the dramatic growth of syndicalist and autonomist formations and argue for their historical necessity. They show how workers seek to form and join democratic and independent unions that are fundamentally opposed to bureaucratic leadership, compromise, and concessions.

Specific case studies dealing with both the Global South and Global North assess the context of local histories and the spatially and temporally located balance of power, while embedding the struggle in a broader picture of resistance and the fight for emancipation.
