Summary: Understanding Resistance
Comment: This book, which includes viewpoints of authors from England, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the U.S., is a valuable contribution to an understanding of resistance and power in the context of labor process theory and subjectivity. Moving from the thought of writers including Foucault, Braverman, and Marx; the authors deconstruct dualistic thinking to explore the relationship of power, resistance, and compliance. Most of the chapters examine actual cases of resistance in specific organizational and socio-cultural settings. While eschewing grand theorization, the book does look for conclusions about sources, strategies, and effectiveness of resistance. It also provides a model of outflanking strategies employed by organizations, Finally, resistance is discussed in relationship to a typology of consciousness of power.
