The Privilege of Servitude presents a detailed and up-to-date portrait of today’s working class.
Ricardo Antunes examines the main trends in new labor relations, where precariousness, outsourcing, and deregulation have become the rule rather than the exception. He offers an in-depth analysis of the rise of the new service proletariat and contemporary forms of digital labor, while also exploring changes in labor relations globally—with a particular focus on Brazil’s recent history, from the period of redemocratization to the Bolsonaro years.
Ricardo Antunes is a Full Professor of Sociology at the University of Campinas and the author of The Meanings of Work (2013) and Farewell to Work? (2021), among other books. He has been a Visiting Professor at Ca’ Foscari University and a Visiting Researcher at the University of Sussex.
