LABOR

Jill Magiâ€™s new bookâ€”comprised of fiction, poetry, and archival researchâ€”LABOR explores relations between workplace and workers, race-class-gender, the institution and the body, the â€œpersonalâ€ budget and the economy, the archive and undisciplined paper trails. An â€œemployee handbookâ€ sequence runs throughout the text, providing a set of directions for ritual practices toward individual agency and workplace/worker transformation. But unlike the archived ideologies and hopes of traditional labor history that LABORâ€™s characters eventually abandon or never fully embraced, the transformation does not look like traditional progress or reform.
