Rebecca Galemba focuses on the plight of day laborers in Denver, Colorado--a quintessential purple state that has swung between some of the harshest and more welcoming policies around immigrant and labor rights--to reveal how labor abuses like wage theft persist, and how advocates, attorneys, and workers struggle to redress and prevent those abuses using proactive policy, legal challenges, and direct action tactics. As more and more industries move away from secure, permanent employment and towards casualized labor practices, this book shines a light on wage theft as symptomatic of larger, systemic issues throughout the U.S. economy, and illustrates how workers can deploy effective strategies to endure and improve their position in the world amidst precarity through everyday forms of convivencia and resistance. Applying a public anthropology approach that integrates the experiences of community partners, students, policy makers, and activists in the production of research, this book uses the pressing issue of wage theft to offer a methodologically rigorous, community-engaged, and pedagogically innovative approach to the study of immigration, labor, inequality, and social justice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-292) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : stolen wages on stolen land -- Stealing immigrant work -- Boomtown : construction and immigration in the Mile High City -- Dreaming for Friday : how employers steal wages -- A day worked is a day paid : preventing and confronting wage theft -- Failure to pursue : the legal maze -- God's justice : resignation and reckoning -- Interlude : Severiano's story / by Severiano and Abbey Vogel -- The DAT : justice and direct action / by Abbey Vogel, Diego Bleifuss Prados, Amy Czulada, Tamara Kuennen, Alexsis SaÌnchez, and Rebecca Galemba -- Interlude : Diana's story / by Diana and Alexsis SaÌnchez ; transcribed and translated by Abbey Vogel -- Conclusion : siÌ, se puede : victories and broader indignities. 650 0 $a Wages $x Foreign workers $z Denver. $z Denver. 650 0 $a Unfair labor practices $z Denver. $z Denver. 650 0 $a Foreign workers, Latin American $z Denver $z Denver $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Day laborers $z Denver $z Denver $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Unfair labor practices. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01161269 650 7 $a Wages $x Foreign workers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01733828 651 7 $a Colorado $z Denver. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205192 776 08 $i Online version: $a Galemba, Rebecca B., 1981- $t Laboring for justice $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2023 $z 9781503635210 $w (DLC) 2022027845 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010332.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1F1AA380F47811EDA3FB15433FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
