Book Synopsis Hermes on Two Wheels by : Kevin Wehr
Book excerpt: This book shows the dynamic world of the bicycle messenger through a sociological lens, based on a five-year participant observation study. The research shows how messengers work within a political-economic system that devalues semi-skilled labor and strips people of emotional fulfillment.
