Handcrafted Careers

"For many people, a career spent brewing beer is a dream come true. But who gets to transform that dream into a reality? Eli Wilson deftly exposes the unequal pathways into the craft brewing industry."--Christine L. Williams, author of Gaslighted: How the Oil and Gas Industry Shortchanges Women Scientists "Central to the sociology of work are detailed accounts of how workers conceive their labor. In Eli Wilson's impressive Handcrafted Careers we go behind the scenes of a creative industry to hear the voices of workers in craft beer. Readers will never drink a pint again without thinking of these dedicated men and women."--Gary Alan Fine, author of Kitchens: The Culture of Restaurant Work
