Raising Class Consciousness
Labor Movements and Communication Power in the Information Age
Overview
This book focuses on the unequal power dynamics embedded in technological change. Offering critical and international perspectives on labor and communication, the book demonstrates how the adoption and implementation of technologies are political processes shaped by economic incentives, worker organizing and state intervention.

Yet, it also highlights how workers have leveraged various communication technologies—past and present—to reclaim their agency during moments of disruption.
