However, working-class people are often stigmatised, morally judged and depicted negatively in dominant discourses. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book challenges stereotypical representations of workers, building on research into the everyday worlds of working-class and ordinary people in Russia's post-industrial cities. The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia is centred on the stories of local communities engaged in the everyday struggles that occur in deindustrialising settings under neoliberal neo-authoritarianism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book suggests a novel approach to everyday life in post-industrial cities. Drawing on an ethnographic study with elements of arts-based research, the book presents a new genre of writing about workers influenced by the avant-garde documentary tradition and working-class literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920572203166,"sku":"ING-9781526195746","price":56.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526195746.jpg?v=1782824382","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526195746","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
