@theresa_hice @EarlWrightII I was also going to suggest On the Line! An excellent ethnography of labor and migration in the south. https://t.co/WRK46KLa7r

Rather than leaving the luxury hotel vacant, a group of former employees occupied the property and kept it open. In The People’s Hotel, @ksobering recounts the history of the Hotel Bauen.

Friends! I am so excited to share that my book, The People’s Hotel: Working for Justice in Argentina, was published this month by Duke University Press: https://t.co/J8mVALfeL1

@akjorgenson Thanks!!

[Katherine Sobering @ksobering]

This book not only highlights how the movement of worker-recuperated business in Argentina challenged capitalist work arrangements, and but also provides a much-needed complement to our disciplinary focus on inequality by developing a sociological understanding of equality.

[Katherine Sobering @ksobering]

The People’s Hotel details the ways that workers distributed power, opportunities, and resources to theorize the relational production of equality. Workers, I argue, developed an *equality project* through which they confronted common distinctions to reconsider the status quo.

@robingnelson @theyoungjoo I second this. The early morning hours of quiet (I start around 5) have been my only productive writing time since becoming a parent. Makes for a long day!
