R. Shyam Sundar, Xavier School of Management, India * An excellent overview and introduction to labor process analysis and work in the Global South. For anyone interested in this area of research, this is your 'must-buy' book.

This unique and original collection of case studies makes a major contribution to labour process analysis, notably by connecting the sphere of work and life through a thick description and an integrated analysis of labour control regimes and the broader sphere of social reproduction.
