Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Retail Worker Politics, Race and Consumption in South Africa offers searing insight into the contested world of retail work and labour politics over the past century in South Africa. . Given the book's ambitious historical scope and research agenda, its contributions are manifold. . As we confront the sobering realities of our present, Kenny's book leaves us with a key question about the stakes and the political horizons of labour politics forged during previous eras of struggle." (Jennifer Jihye Chun, Global Labour Journal, Vol. 9 (03), September, 2018)
