"Over the course of the 19th century European societies started thinking of themselves as 'civilisations of work'. In the wake of the political and industrial revolutions, labour as a human activity and condition gradually came to embody a general principle of order, progress, and governance. How did work become so central to our systems of citizenship and social recognition? The book addresses this question by considering the French context in the long transition between the 1789 and 1848 revolutions and focusing on a specific 'fragment' of history in the early 1830s marked by a pandemic crisis and the first consequences of industrialisation. It combines the analysis of both political institutions and social movements to retrace the rise of a labour-based social contract revolving around the 'citizen-worker' as the quintessential subject of rights. The first part of the book highlights the role played by the genesis of the modern social sciences and analyses it as a political process that established work as an 'object' of governance and scientific investigation, thus fostering pioneering measures of welfare centred on work conditions. The second part focuses on the emergence of the concept of 'working class' and the modern labour movement, which structured the world of work as a collective political 'subject'"-- Provided by publisher.

"In rural northern Idaho in winter 2013-14, Syringa Mobile Home Park's water system was contaminated by sewage, resulting in residents' water being shut off for 93 days. By summer 2018 Syringa had closed, forcing residents to relocate or face homelessness. Trailer Park America chronicles how residents dealt with regulatory agencies, frequent boil order notices, threats of closure, and class-based social stigma over this period. Despite all this, what was seen as a dysfunctional, 'disorderly' community by outsiders was instead a refuge where veterans, women heads of households, and people with disabilities or substance use disorders were supported and understood. The embattled Syringa community also organized to defend the rights and dignity of residents and served as a site for negotiating with local government, culminating in a class-action lawsuit that reached the federal level. The experiences Syringa residents faced in this conservative, predominately white region of the United States are emblematic of the growing national and global crisis in affordable housing and home ownership, with declining work conditions and incomes for the working-class as leading edge"-- Provided by publisher.

"More than 1.4 million non-profit organizations operate in the United States. These organizations have a combined revenue of some $2.26 trillion and employ 10% of the nation's workforce. Over 60 million people serve as board members and volunteers. These organizations represent the promise and aspirations of America. Every day in communities big and small, nonprofit organizations bring people together to feed, shelter, care for, heal, inform, protect, educate, inspire, nurture, build, encourage and protect. The missions of nonprofit organizations are central to the health and prosperity of our nation. Some of these organizations are strong and thriving, but many struggle to survive. What makes the difference? Why do some nonprofit organizations prosper and grow while others struggle? The answer is leadership, but most leadership models are based on the experience of successful for-profit corporations. Nonprofits especially small nonprofits have unique leadership requirements. They require a mission focused leadership model. The Five Truths for Transformational Leaders engages professionals and board leaders on a quest to achieve extraordinary results. The five truths are based on the authors forty years of experience as a nonprofit leader and interviews with staff and board leaders of organizations that achieved unprecedented, sustained transformational growth. Each of the five truths is supported by quotes and observations from board and staff leaders of organizations that more than doubled operating revenue over five years"-- Provided by publisher

Abandoning Their Beloved Land offers an essential new history of the Bracero Program, a bilateral initiative that allowed Mexican men to work in the United States as seasonal contract farmworkers from 1942 to 1964. Using national and local archives in Mexico, historian Alberto Garcia uncovers previously unexamined political factors that shaped the direction of the program, including how officials administered the bracero selection process and what motivated campesinos from central states to migrate. Notably, Garcia's book reveals how and why the Mexican government's delegation of Bracero Program-related responsibilities, the powerful influence of conservative Catholic opposition groups in central Mexico, and the failures of the revolution's agrarian reform all profoundly influenced the program's administration and individuals' decisions to migrate as braceros.
