Abstract: A book review of: Isabell Lorey (2015) States of Insecurity: Government of the Precarious. London: Verso Excerpt: In States of Insecurity: Government of the Precarious (2015), Isabell Lorey advocates for embracing precarity as a radical political proposition. In this concise yet far-reaching book, Lorey presents an argument that centers on the potential for resistance emerging from the pervasive insecurity of modern life. She explores how the condition of precarity, often viewed negatively, can become a source of political empowerment and collective action in response to the structural vulnerabilities inherent in contemporary society.
