{"product_id":"the-sweatshop-regime-alessandra-mezzadri-9781108799249","title":"The Sweatshop Regime: Labouring Bodies, Exploitation, and Garments Made in India","description":"This book explores the processes producing and reproducing the garment sweatshop in India. Drawing from Marxian and feminist insights, the book theorises the garment sweatshop in India as a complex 'regime' of exploitation and oppression, jointly crafted by global, regional and local actors, composed of factory and non-factory settings, and working across productive and reproductive realms. The analysis shows the tight correspondence between the physical and social materiality of garment production in India; illustrates the great social differentiation and complex patterns of labour unfreedom at work in the industry; and depicts the sweatshop as a composite 'joint enterprise' against the labouring body, which is inexorably depleted and consumed by garment work, even in the absence of major industrial disasters. By placing labour at the centre of the analysis of processes of development and globalisation, the book critically engages with key debates on industrial modernity, modern slavery, and ethical consumerism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessandra Mezzadri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108799248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108799249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Alessandra Mezzadri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126657478911,"sku":"9781108799249","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9e042a8-a3a5-4f6a-a055-fb15211c7568.jpg?v=1687449412","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sweatshop-regime-alessandra-mezzadri-9781108799249","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
