Ruth Castel-Branco, CASAS’ member, has recently published a book review in the journal Transformation: Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa.

Abstract: The book reviewed, Recasting Workers’ Power by Eddie Webster with Lynford Dor, offers a hopeful respite from the millenarian narratives of the end of labour that have come to dominate contemporary debates on work in the digital economy. Drawing on six case studies of workers from across the African continent – informal traders, delivery and boda-boda (motorcycle) drivers, manufacturing, and municipal workers, school teachers – the authors explore how changes in the organisation of production are redefining the labour process and sources of worker power.
