Sinossi

This work provides a valuable insight into plantation life in Jamaica in the early 1800s. Englishman Matthew Gregory Lewis wrote it during his first journey to his plantations in Jamaica in 1817. It was not published in London until 1834, nearly two decades after being written, during the peak of the international abolitionist movement. Lewis was a slave-owner who took over two large plantations owned by his family, and he would visit it twice. During this trip, he examined the living and working circumstances of the enslaved people on his plantations. His informal record, the Journal of a West India Proprietor, offers a vivid report on plantation life from the standpoint of a 'liberal' enslaver. He was an acute observer of everything he saw, and nothing escaped his watch. He has also included a few folk tales told by the enslaved ones. In addition to this work, he was a novelist and best known as the author of the famous gothic novel The Monk.

    In the vast expanse of the Himalayas, hidden beneath centuries of snow and ice, lay a secret that had been buried for generations. The towering peaks, once home to monks and ancient civilizations, now shielded a dark legacy that time itself had forgotten. The truth about this forgotten legacy, however, was about to resurface, altering the course of history and threatening the very future of a nation. 
    The story began long before the world had even begun to recognize the geopolitical importance of this remote region. Ancient texts, passed down through generations of sages, spoke of a powerful device buried in the heart of the mountains. These writings, written in a language long extinct, described an artifact of unimaginable power—an object designed to protect a kingdom, but one that, if misused, could bring about devastation on an unimaginable scale. 
    Over time, the knowledge of this device faded into obscurity. Wars, invasions, and the relentless march of history erased most traces of the past. Yet, the stories never fully disappeared. They were whispered by the elders, passed along in cryptic folklore, and tucked away in the corners of forgotten libraries. But for centuries, no one believed the legends were more than myths, the wild imaginings of storytellers and mystics.

    The first major study of how the pandemic affected gig workers—a sociological exploration that reads like a novel. 
     
     
      
    This is the story of what the most vulnerable wage earners—gig workers, restaurant staff, early-career creatives, and minimum-wage laborers—do when the economy suddenly collapses. In Side Hustle Safety Net, Alexandrea J. Ravenelle builds on interviews with nearly two hundred gig-based and precarious workers, conducted during the height of the pandemic, to uncover the unique challenges they faced in unprecedented times. 
     
     
      
    This book looks at both the officially unemployed and the "forgotten jobless"—a digital-era demographic that turned to side hustles—and reveals how they fared. CARES Act assistance allowed some to change careers, start businesses, perhaps transform their lives. However, gig workers and those involved in "polyemployment" found themselves at the mercy of outdated unemployment systems, vulnerable to scams, and attempting dubious survival strategies. Ultimately, Side Hustle Safety Net argues that the rise of the gig economy, partnered with underemployment and economic instability, has increased worker precarity with disastrous consequences.
