However, working-class people are often stigmatised, morally judged and depicted negatively in dominant discourses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book challenges stereotypical representations of workers, building on research into the everyday worlds of working-class and ordinary people in Russia's post-industrial cities. The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia is centred on the stories of local communities engaged in the everyday struggles that occur in deindustrialising settings under neoliberal neo-authoritarianism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book suggests a novel approach to everyday life in post-industrial cities. Drawing on an ethnographic study with elements of arts-based research, the book presents a new genre of writing about workers influenced by the avant-garde documentary tradition and working-class literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandrina Vanke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526167638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526167637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Alexandrina Vanke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44716588925183,"sku":"9781526167637","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e324bc1-e52b-48cb-a828-27661981a607.jpg?v=1705682919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-urban-life-of-workers-alexandrina-vanke-9781526167637","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
