In today’s precarious world, working people’s experiences are strangely becoming more alike even as their disparities sharpen. The Fight for Time explores the logic behind this paradox by listening to what Latino day laborers say about work and society. The book shows how migrant laborers are both exception and synecdoche in relation to the precarious conditions of contemporary work life. As unauthorized migrants, these workers are subjected to extraordinarily harsh treatment – yet in startling ways, they also epitomize struggles that apply throughout the economy. Juxtaposing day laborers’ descriptions of their desperate circumstances and dangerous work with theoretical accounts of the forces fueling insecurity, The Fight for Time illuminates the temporal contradictions that define precarity today. The book taps the core intellectual current among day labor groups – Paulo Freire’s popular-education theory – to craft an original “critical-popular” approach for understanding the points of connection between the ways that day laborers view their lives and scholarly analysis of precarious work-life writ large.
