[Ivana · Rating 4 out of 5]

A slim, well-balanced volume that works equally well for researchers and practitioners. Theory leans on McAlevey's whole-worker approach and mobilization literature, but wears it lightly. The structure is smart — analytical chapters alternating with shorter essays from organizers and community actors actually in the field. The narrative moves from global union level down to a single workplace and back out again, connecting the worker struggles to weak social movement infrastructure in general.
Authors' own involvement is acknowledged cleanly, no overblown reflexivity making is a good example for engaged scholarship. Short, readable, as surely a good class material.
