About this product

Dirty Work by Eyal Press is a nonfiction paperback that examines the psychological and emotional toll of 'dirty work'—essential but morally compromised jobs performed by marginalized groups in America. Through in-depth reporting, the book explores the lives of individuals in high-stress, ethically fraught roles such as prison guards, slaughterhouse workers, and drone pilots. It highlights how systemic inequality shapes who bears these burdens and reveals the lasting impacts of moral injury, stigma, and trauma on low-income workers, undocumented immigrants, women, and people of color. Published by Picador in 2022, the book spans 320 pages and measures 8.1" W x 5.3" H x 1" D.
