商品描述
This book is a study of workers in India's Informational Technology sector, and focuses on how the past three decades of neoliberal economic reforms have impacted the efforts to organize the workers in the sector given the socio-political and economic setbacks encountered by the broader labour movement. In doing so, the book explores the role of privatization, changing gender relations inside and outside the workplace, new organizational forms created by IT workers to advance their interests, and the increasingly precarious nature of IT work.
By exploring how the growth of the IT sector in India has amplified and reproduced discrimination against unskilled and marginalized elements of the labour force, the book shows the ways in which other social and political divisions create considerable barriers when it comes to the ability of IT workers to successfully collaborate with other sectors within the Indian labour movement
The book will be of interest to students and researchers of sociology, labour studies, political economy and gender studies.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書研究的是印度資訊技術部門的工人,並著重於過去三十年新自由主義經濟改革對該部門工人組織努力的影響,考慮到整體勞工運動所遭遇的社會政治和經濟挫折。在此過程中,本書探討了私有化的角色,工作場所內外的性別關係變化,IT工人為推進自身利益而創建的新組織形式,以及IT工作日益不穩定的性質。
通過探討印度IT部門的增長如何加劇和再現對勞動力中無技能和邊緣化元素的歧視,本書展示了其他社會和政治分歧在IT工人能否成功與印度勞工運動中的其他部門合作方面所造成的重大障礙。
本書對社會學、勞工研究、政治經濟學和性別研究的學生和研究人員具有興趣。
