Sri Lanka's apparel sector holds an enviable place in the imaginary
of its competitors for having a niche position amongst global
retailers, given its claims of producing 'garments without guilt'.
Exploitative labour conditions are not part of the industry's
portfolio - ethicality, eco-friendly production and unblemished
conditions of work are. Sri Lanka's transition away from a
protracted ethnic war has meant that the industry portrays itself
as investing in the former war zone to create jobs without
reflection on how its vaunted mantle, the deployment of ethical
codes effectively, themselves may be under duress. This book uses
an analytical framing informed by labour and feminist perspectives
to explore how labour struggles in the post-1977 period in Sri
Lanka provided important resistance to capitalist processes and
continue to shape the industry both within and outside of the shop
floor. It studies contextual moments in the country's recent
history to rupture the dominant narrative and record the centrality
of labour in the success of the country's apparel industry.
