Drawing on interviews with sex workers as well as their political and creative writings, Heather Berg curates an archive of radical thought on the trappings of respectability, the failures of work, and the role of everyday resistance in collective, militant struggle. Berg grounds her analysis in the perspective of the lumpenproletariat--the mutinous, precarious, and often criminalized counterpart to the respectable working class. Lumpen theorists use their position on the margins to imagine futures that welcome everyone for whom the usual solutions are not nearly enough. The nuclear family, the wage relation, the gendered racial capitalist state: all must go. \u003ci\u003eNotes from the Sex Worker Left\u003c\/i\u003e offers tools to dismantle them.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Notes from the Sex Worker Left: Lumpen Theory | Heather Berg | Paperback | 9781478039150 | New | Politics 1758770","offer_id":67764243955864,"sku":"1758770","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/816Q2eHXy7L.jpg?v=1792508556","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/notes-from-the-sex-worker-left-lumpen-theory","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
