The Precariat Self-Help Handbook 2 by Pixie Tan

Still invested in rethinking the existing hierarchies of creative labour and the value of work, the second issue of The Precariat Self Help Handbook builds on the lessons learnt a year on from the 1st issue. Reflecting on our experience as both precariats and students, the handbook includes important and slightly more grown up lessons on who and where to go to help, how to navigate sticky situations such as money (don’t we all love talking about money..), the Hostile Environment and includes strategies on self organising.

This issue includes writing and resources from Pin Han Tan (mole.co), Protest Press, Migrants in Culture, Catherine Tang, Laura Gordon, Alissa Metnik, Rebecca Toh, Pixie Tan and Nicole Jesse. It also features beautiful illustrations by Lee Wan Xiang and Lizzie Heath. Comes with a tear-away postcard to share your inner most fears with a friend.
