Making  visible the social relationships that drive the global economy, the book  explores how economic transformations not only change the way we work,  but how we live our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe full extent of changing patterns of employment and the current  financial crisis cannot be fully understood in the confines of narrow  conceptions of work and economy. Feminists address this shortcoming by  developing both a theory and a political movement aimed at unveiling the  power relations inherent in old and new forms of work. By providing an  analysis of gender, work, and the economy, Heidi Gottfried brings to  light the many faces of power from the bedroom to the boardroom. A  discussion of globalization is threaded throughout the book to uncover  the impact of increasing global interconnections, and vivid case studies  are included, from industrialized countries such as the US and the  global cities of New York, London, and Tokyo, as well as from developing  countries and the emerging global cities of Beijing, Shanghai, and  Dubai.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive analysis of gender and work in a global economy,  incorporating sociology, geography, and political economy perspectives,  will be a valued companion to students in gender studies and across the  social sciences more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003eHeidi Gottfried is Associate Professor of Sociology at Wayne State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 December 2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780745647654\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e224\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310762717324,"sku":"9780745647654","price":25.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780745647654_2761a38d-342c-4440-b8e4-665b4e0badbd.jpg?v=1780172841","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780745647654","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
