| Abstract | "In this book, Ilana Gershon turns her attention to the US workplace and how it changed-and changed us-during the pandemic. The unprecedented organizational challenges of the pandemic, she argues, forced us to radically reexamine our attitudes to work and think more deeply about how values clash in the workplace. It also led us as workers to exercise our freedom in ways that were previously unimaginable, as we rethought when and how we allow others to tell us what to do. Based on over 200 interviews, Gershon's book reveals how negotiating these tensions during the pandemic made workplaces into a laboratory for democratic living-the key places where most Americans are learning effective political strategies and how to think about the common good. Exploring the explicit and unspoken ways we are governed (and govern others) at work, this provocative book shows how the workplace can teach us to be democratic citizens"-- Provided by publisher. |
