'A breath of fresh air' - Norman Finklestein Workers in the Global
South are doomed through economic imperialism to carry the burden
of the entire world. While these workers appear isolated from the
Global North, they are in fact deeply integrated into global
commodity chains and essential to the maintenance of global
capitalism. Looking at contemporary case studies in India, the
Philippines and South Africa, this book affirms the significance of
political and economic representation to the struggles of workers
against deepening levels of poverty and inequality that oppress the
majority of people on the planet. Immanuel Ness shows that workers
are eager to mobilise to improve their conditions, and can achieve
lasting gains if they have sustenance and support from political
organisations. From the Dickensian industrial zones of Delhi to the
agrarian oligarchy on the island of Mindanao, a common element
remains - when workers organise they move closer to the realisation
of socialism, solidarity and equality.
