Drawing from the author's extensive fieldwork, this collection of essays examines labour located at the bottom of the rural socio-economic ladder trying to seek a foothold in the urban economy. The volume demonstrates the ways in which this vulnerable group is excluded from a stable and dignified life. The book also highlights the effects of recent policies of globalization on labour.
