Beskrivning
Drawing on over a decade of fieldwork in rural South India, the book uses a 'class-relational' approach to analyse continuity and change in processes of accumulation, exploitation and domination. By focusing on the three interrelated arenas of labour relations, the state and civil society, it explores how improvements can be made in the conditions of labourers working 'at the margins' of global production networks, primarily as agricultural labourers and construction workers. Elements of social policy can improve the poor's material conditions and expand their political space where such ends are actively pursued by labouring class organisations. More fundamental change, though, requires stronger organisation of the informal workers who make up the majority of India's population.

Recensioner i media

'This book is a valuable addition to the "great tradition" of studies of the political economy of change in rural India. It is very much up to the moment in its excellent contextualisation of contemporary change; its investigation of rural "classes of labour" and what shapes their prospects, is innovative, theoretically sophisticated and empirically precise.'Henry Bernstein, Emeritus Professor of Development Studies, SOAS, University of London'This outstanding book, based on more than a decade of richly textured research illuminates the character of agrarian social relations in contemporary India and is a major contribution to understanding of the social implications of India's pursuit of neoliberalism.'John Harriss, Professor of International Studies, Simon Fraser University
