Download or read book Footloose Labour written by Jan Breman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-09-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a penetrating anthropological study of the working poor in India, Jan Breman examines the lives of those who, pushed out of the agrarian labour market, depend on casual work. Beginning his local-level research in two villages in south Gujarat, the author discusses the mobilisation of casual labour, which is hired and fired according to the need of the moment, and transferred for the duration of the job to destinations far away from the home area. His case-study reveals that the circulation of labour is indicative of an employment pattern which dominates both the rural and urban economy of large parts of South Asia. Elaborating on the social profile of the work migrants, the author argues that their identity is shaped by both class and caste relations and, despite action by state agencies, nothing of significance has been achieved to improve their quality of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With labour being pushed out of agriculture, Jan Breman analyses why, when, and how the massive shift in production and employment came about. The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the past and present path of capitalism and dwells on the abominable condition of theunorganized workforce and the commodification of labour, familiarizing the reader with the concept of informality and its ramifications. The second part, a compilation of well-established, critical readings in the field by the author, elaborates on themes and issues introduced in the first part ofthe book. Drawing upon detailed field accounts and a critique of the informal sector at both analytical and empirical levels, the author examines different aspects of the labour regime that, in the past decades, has become dominant in the world at large, with serious consequences for the labouringpoor in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social security in India has emerged as an important political agenda in recent years. The two flagship initiatives of the Indian government-the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna-have been welcomed by the citizens and political parties alike. And yet, there are complaints about implementation, corruption and other issues. This book explores the working of these two schemes, and few others, with their mixed results in five states through local level studies.

Download or read book Labour, State and Society in Rural India written by Jonathan Pattenden and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind India's high recent growth rates lies a story of societal conflict that is scarcely talked about. Across production sites, state institutions and civil society organisations, the dominant and less well-off sections of society are engaged in a protracted conflict that determines the material conditions of one quarter of the world's 'poor'. Increasingly mobile, and often engaged in multiple occupations in multiple locations, India's 'classes of labour' are highly segmented, but far from passive in the face of ongoing processes of exploitation and domination. Drawing on detailed fieldwork in rural South India over more than a decade, the book uses a 'class-relational' approach that focuses on 'the poor's' iniquitous relations with others, and views class in terms of contested social relations rather than structural locations marked by particular characteristics. The book explores continuity and change amongst forms of accumulation, exploitation and domination in three interrelated arenas of class relations: labour relations, the state and civil society. Marginal gains for labour derived from structural change are contested by capital, local state institutions and state poverty reduction programmes tend to be controlled by the dominant class, and civil society organisations tend to reproduce rather than challenge the status quo. On the other hand, elements of state policy have the capacity to improve the material conditions of 'the poor' where such ends are actively pursued by labouring class organisations. It is argued that social policy currently provides the most fertile terrain for redistributing power and resources to the labouring class, and may clear the way for more fundamental transformations.

Download or read book The Jan Breman Omnibus written by Jan Breman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2008 with total page 1391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Omnibus edition, with an Introduction by Sujata Patel, brings together three classic works of Jan Breman-Of Peasants, Migrants and Paupers: Rural Labour Circulation and Capitalist Production in West India; Wage Hunters and Gatherers. Search for Work in the Urban and Rural Economy of South Gujarat; The Labouring Poor in India: Patterns of Exploitation, Subordination and Exclusion. The idea is to present one significant work in each decade of the 1970s, 1980s, and 2000. The introduction is divided into four sections. The first locates Bremans work in terms of the seventies debate on the transition from feudalism to capitalism. The second analyses his research on the nature of capitalism in Gujarat and the growth of new classes, the displacement of agrarian labour, and the introduction of labour in the migratory circulation. The third examines the debate on the theory of the informal sector on which Breman has made a singular contribution. The final section discusses how Bremans intellectual eclecticism and use of interdisciplinary methods of fieldwork and historical perspective has opened up a new perspective in the area of sociology of development, labour and migration studies. The book also carries an interview of the author by Yolanda van Ede of the University of Amsterdam. In this candid interview, Breman talks, among other things, about his family background, his academic life, and his fieldwork.
