Fast Forward: Work, Gender and Protest in a Changing World

Author: Torry D D Dickinson

This innovative, global feminist analysis of work and politics examines the diverse problems and related protests of women and men who labor to make ends meet in a rapidly-changing world. Using vivid examples from around the world, it reveals how "globalization" is reshaping social institutions and lives. "Fast Forward" explores how businesses and states reshaped and redistributed work around the world during the last 30 years of "globalization," often with adverse consequences. Within this fast-moving context, laboring people today engage in work outside of formal employment, try to obtain survival resources, mount a diverse array of often women-centered protests against firms and states, and try—on their own terms—to reinvent work and democratic political practices. Portraying the human face of global change, "Fast Forward" shows how overlapping social movements wrestle with economic and political marginalization, and initiate highly diverse, but related attempts to change the way the world works.

Author Biography: Torry Dickinson is associate professor of women's studies at Kansas State University. Robert Schaeffer is associate professor of sociology at Kansas State University.

Dickinson (women's studies, Kansas State University) and Schaeffer (sociology, Kansas State University) provide a feminist political analysis of work. They consider the various problems and related protests of workers around the world. The changes prompted by economic globalization are highlighted, as is the resistance to globalization. Chapters focus on the relationships and conflicts between workers, businesses, and the state, the reorganization of work and the decline of the welfare state, the degradation of social and natural environments, the emergence of a woman-centered labor movement, and the changing meanings of work and society.
