Globalization Lived Locally

A Labour Geography Perspective

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book concerns the broad theme of globalization and labour, particularly female labour, and applies the labour geography approach to examine contemporary forms of labour control, conflict, and response under a globalization regime, through four diverse in-depth empirical case studies set in the Indian state of Kerala. Questioning global stereotypes, the book argues that labour becomes actively involved in the very process of globalization and the expansion of capital.
