Poverty is the ***nt feature of the working lives portrayed in this book. But the misery of these men, women, and children in India has little to do with the underdevelopment of the past. The poverty here is caused by development and is concentrated mainly in what is referred to as the informal sector of the economy, which is what four-fifths of India's population depends on for its livelihood. It concerns the type of work that requires little or no capital investment or education and is small-scale by nature. The wages earned from these enterprises are not only low but are also characterized by strong work fluctuations per day, month, or season. Two other factors characterize this type of work: the absence of governmental monitoring and also, the absence of organizations, namely unions, which traditionally represented the concerns of the working class. The choice for India emerges from the research of Jan Breman, performed over a 30-year period in an area located on India's west coast, the site of enormous economic growth. He has now returned to this location with photographer, Ravi Agarwal, to present a portrait of the working classes of this particular area. Together with Arvind Das, a well-known journalist and commentator on business matters in India, Jan Breman has written the text which accompanies the photographs. , Hardcover, Ausgabe: 1, Label: Amsterdam University Press, Amsterdam University Press, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2000-06-01, Studio: Amsterdam University Press, Verkaufsrang: 2140689.

The tide of globalization and privatization that is sweeping across the globe often is often bad news for laborers, and their voices are little heard in the public discourse. This collection of fieldwork and photographs seeks to correct this imbalance. It presents snapshots from the lives of laborers in the Sarat region of India, showing workers in their villages, on the move, and at work in industries ranging from textiles and sugar to diamond-mining, brick-making, and construction. Combining stunning documentary work and rich anthropological research, the book paints a vivid and detailed portrait of modern laborers and the ways their lives are changing and not changing.
