When the spread of digital disruptions leads to employment and income insecurity.

The unskilled immigrant laborer. The Maghred grocer. And now, the latest racialized figure on the employment scene: the Uber driver. While the spread of digital platforms marks the advent of renewed, even exacerbated forms of exploitation, it is also a form of racialized capitalism founded on radicalized men. This unprecedented study, conducted with help from over a hundred Uber drivers in Paris, London, and Montreal, offers readers a chance to get to know some of the people behind the stereotype that has come to symbolize "Uberisation" as they describe their daily realities of life and work.
