Behind Indias high recent growth rates lies a story of societal conflict that is scarcely talked about. Across its villages and production sites, state institutions and civil society organisations, the dominant and less well-off sections of society are engaged in antagonistic relations that determine the material conditions of one quarter of the worlds poor. Increasingly mobile and often with several jobs in multiple locations, Indias classes of labour are highly segmented but far from passive in the face of ongoing exploitation and domination.Drawing on more than a decade of fieldwork in rural South India, the book uses a class-relational approach to explore continuity and change in processes of accumulation, exploitation and domination. By focusing on the three interrelated arenas of labour relations, the state and civil society, it tries to better understand how improvements can be made in the conditions of labourers working at the margins of global production networks, primarily as agricultural labourers and construction workers.
