This book connects the history of labour movements with the
transformation of workplace relations in South Asia from the late
19th century to the 1930s. Contending that labour conflicts in the
Bengal jute industry must be understood against the backdrop of a
radical change in the organisation of work in this period, Sailer
shows how this led to a rupture in worker's relations in the
workplace and beyond. Moving away from polarities such as
class/culture or modernity/tradition and reconsidering the context
around industrial conflicts in this period, Workplace relations in
Colonial Bengal offers a new framework to analyse the changing
organisation of work in colonial India, and identifies the
implications for worker relations both inside and outside the
factory. Focusing on a major colonial era industry, this book opens
up new perspectives n the history of workers and colonial
capitalism in modern India.
