This volume takes an alternative look at the notion of
'wage-workers'. The contributors suggest that the idea of a 'pure'
working class should be reconsidered and examine specific South
Asian and Latin American case studies. A large part of the working
class in the so-called third world and also in the main capitalist
countries is either free (but coerced through non-economic means)
or does hidden work labor e.g. as formally self-employed producers.
By rethinking the fundamental assumptions of 'classical' labor and
working-class history, the volume contributes to the development of
a non-Eurocentric historiography.
