Over the last decade, Nepal has witnessed significant urban growth
and an expanding urban middle class. Glimpses of Hope tells the
story of the people who enable some of the middle-class consumer
practices in urban Nepal. The book focuses on workers in areas such
as modern food-processing, water-bottling, housebuilding, and
sand-mining industries and explores how workers see such forms of
work, where union organization can help, and how work opportunities
emerge along lines of gender and ethnicity. Although global labor
relations have been mostly in decline for decades, this ethnography
offers insights and glimpses of hope in terms of labor dynamics and
the opportunities various jobs may afford.
