Working Disasters: The Politics of Recognition and Response
Edited by Eric Tucker
Every day, workers are injured, made ill, or killed on the job. Most often, workers experience
these harms individually and in isolation. Particular occurrences rarely attract much public attention
beyond, perhaps, a small paragraph in the local newspaper. Instead, these events are normalized. This

Great Britain, Sweden, and the United States that examine the politics of working disasters. The essays
address two fundamental questions: what gets recognized as a work disaster? And how does the state respond
to one?
