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