{"product_id":"labouring-lives-archana-aggarwal-9789392018046","title":"Labouring Lives: Industry and Informality in New India","description":"Clothes and cars are sparkling symbols of India's economic success, but few think about the men and women who toil ceaselessly on the sewing machines and assembly lines to produce them. Based on interviews carried out over many years in Delhi's National Capital Region, Labouring Lives provides a glimpse of the world of workers in the automobile and readymade garment industries. Archana Aggarwal combines first-hand accounts from workshops and tenements with an examination of policy and law to illuminate the consequences of flexibilisation and informalisation of labour. The book forcefully argues for a shift away from the mainstream view where workers are dehumanised and markets are the sole determinant of employment, wages and working conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Archana Aggarwal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9392018045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789392018046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leftword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Archana Aggarwal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113886691583,"sku":"9789392018046","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b558e7e-3f5f-4bc7-8fcc-5311c5ef968f.jpg?v=1769617758","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/labouring-lives-archana-aggarwal-9789392018046","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
