The volume scrutinizes the fundamentally uneven character of
industrial production and working class formation by bringing
together anthropologists specializing on industrial labour in
various locations from South America, Western and Eastern Europe,
North Africa, and South Asia. Through their engagement with Leon
Trotsky’s concept of ‘uneven and combined development’ the
authors unravel the complex relations that connect (and disconnect)
labour in their sites of research with workers in other places and
other times. As the contributions likewise reveal, the unevenness
and combination inherent in industrial developments shape and are
at the same time also shaped by the different politics workers in
an unequal world pursue, as well as the historical experiences and
future expectations of workers that inform these. With the
attention the authors pay to the specificities of ethnographic
detail as well as to broader regional and global developments the
volume demonstrates the value of long-term ethnographic research
and is of interest to a wide audience ranging from specialists in
the fields of anthropology, history, sociology and development
studies to students and activists.
