The gender of politics. 5. Gender kinship and practice. Conclusion. References. Index. The book relates the study of the political domain to that of cultural practices and considers how translocal discourses facilitate local dialogue. Tenhunen argues that the gendered understanding of politics not only limits women's political participation but also enables and shapes women's political action and critical discourses because the local concept of politics does not exclude home kinship and the women's domain. She suggests that the notions of modernity and development are not applied in local disputes because of their universality or the supremacy of the western model of modernization but because these through their local interpretations offer concepts through which the taken for granted practices can be discussed and questioned which in turn become means of awakening of turning women's personal experiences into questions of social change. 174 pp.

Hardbound. Condizione: As New. New. Contents Acknowledgements. Introduction. 1. Emergent contradictions overview on globalization. 2. Hierarchies of exploitation and multiple inequalities women workers in the garment export industry. 3. The cutting edge and nimble fingers women workers in electronics manufacturing. 4. Lengthening shadows the closing wall of home based work. 5. Neither mental nor manual labour the service factories of the New Economy. Conclusion. Appendix Urban Agglomerations. References. Index. Investigating the impact of globalization on women workers in India this book demystifies the phenomenon of globalization offering an overview of its prime drivers processes and forces. Four sectoral studies of women workers are provided two on factory women in garment exports and electronics the third on home based workers in a range of manufacturing processes and industries and the fourth on middle class women working in Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES). Primary surveys were conducted amongst women workers in 2002 04 covering Delhi and its satellite townships of Noida and Gurgaon. In addition by using secondary sources the study links the experiences of these Delhi based women workers with their counterparts in the same sectors in other parts of the country for a wider understanding of the impact of globalization. The analysis of garment exports electronics and IT services which are clearly linked to global production and service networks brings out global sectoral trends and their ramifications. The study of home based workers on the other hand has focused more on the policy framework towards this particular section and the changes in perspective that have accompanied the liberalization process. The advent of middle class women workers in the new forms of employment in the service sector has led to much euphoric celebration of globalization. IT enabled service the product of the digital age is seen by globalizers as being singularly important for employment generation as well as in terms of the potential to transform India from a still largely backward and overwhelmingly poor country into the superpower league. The author suggests that new avenues of employment combine with new forms of cultural degradation with technology itself becoming an instrument of closer and more oppressive systems of social control. The globalization decade in India has been marked by an extreme volatility in employment that is generalized across all sectors. The book discusses declining wages in the manufacturing sector often far below subsistence and points to the widening gap between male and female employment. An incisive guide to the impact of globalization on women's work the book will be invaluable for scholars activists and indeed for policy makers. 350 pp.
