"Learning to Labor in New Times is intellectually thrilling, politically terrifying, and mobilizing. The book reveals the depths of oppression and, with standard Willis wisdom, the fault lines along which a new set of social revolutions are beginning to take form. Dolby and Dimitriadis have created a must read for educators, activists, scholars, policy makers, youth organizers, and those of us who theorize, research, organize, and rail against the long arm of racialized global capital as it consumes our young." -- Michelle Fine, CUNY Graduate Center"In this rich collection, leading educational researchers show us the continuing relevance of Paul Willis's analytic power and ethnographic commitment to the lived struggles of young women and men, and everyone else." -- Jean Lave, University of California, Berkeley
