Nancy Fraser argues that capitalist societies depend on three analytically distinct yet structurally interdependent forms of labor: exploited, expropriated, and domestic labor. On this basis, she asks whether anti-racist and anti-imperialist struggles can be understood as unrecognized labor struggles - and whether feminist movements, too, should be seen as conflicts over work in societies organized around a gendered separation of paid \"productive\" labor and unpaid care work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fraser's analysis is inspired by a claim advanced by W. E. B. Du Bois in \u003ci\u003eBlack Reconstruction\u003c\/i\u003e. There, Du Bois characterized abolition as a labor movement and argued that US history would have taken a different course had anti-slavery forces allied with movements of free white wage workers. The failure of these \"two labor movements\" to recognize one another, he contended, foreclosed the possibility of a labor democracy and set the United States on the path toward plutocracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Theoretically ambitious and historically informed,\u003ci\u003e The Three Faces of Labor\u003c\/i\u003e extends Du Bois's insight to the present and to a global scale, arguing that a reconstructed conception of labor could help to form a counterhegemonic bloc capable of embracing multiple emancipatory movements without hierarchizing or homogenizing them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57367843242358,"sku":"9781836743996","price":12.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781836743996-the-three-faces-of-labor-uncovering-the-hidden-ties-among-gender-race-and-class","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
