Beschreibung
‘I experienced this volume as a living expression of how the supremacist matrix of modernity/coloniality creates conditions for all to learn from each other through coalitional labour, alternative imaginaries of work, and pluriversalist ways of being and knowing otherwise. It embodies resistance expressed in Imperial English, sustaining our struggles against colonization and dehumanization, while affirming acts of rebellion, love, and solidarity toward rehumanization, championed by the wretched from all over. ’—Alexandre Faria, Associate Professor, Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration (FGV) This edited book reimagines work, workers, and workplaces through decolonial and intersectional praxis. Bringing together contributions across sociology, gender studies, education, management, policy, and anthropology, it shows how coloniality continues shaping labour, care, knowledge production, and public institutions. The volume is organised in three parts: epistemic and pedagogical practices of unlearning coloniality; infrastructures of solidarity developed through collective organising, care, and policy work; and embodied territorial struggles where body, land, memory, and labour are inseparable. Case studies range from education, business schools, and migrant academia to gig worker organising, queer digital movements, care economies, Indigenous Elders’ Circles, post-disaster Japan, Philippine policymaking, urban decolonisation in Germany, and feminist struggles in Mexico. Advancing debates in the sociology of work, post-/decolonial studies, race and ethnicity studies, gender and queer studies, policy, and management, this book offers a grounded account of how alternatives are imagined, enacted, and sustained within and against colonial-capitalist worlds.
