Anthropology of Work Review

You are invited to submit your manuscript for consideration in AWR! The journal publishes pieces on diverse topics in varying styles; the only precondition is that articles and essays must be somehow related to "work" broadly defined. Lively ethnographies, commentaries on recent social movements, biographical studies, readable polemics, and extended review essays of books, museums, and videos are all encouraged.
