No Place Like Home (eBook, PDF)

Organizing Home-Based Labor in the Era of Structural Adjustment

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

No Place Like Home examines the emergence of home-based women workers as paradigmatic figures of contemporary capitalism, neoliberal governmentality, and socio-political contestation. Far from an isolated or contingent situation, home-based work constitutes today an enormous arena of 'invisible' social and political struggles of subaltern and ethno-racially subordinated women.
