Precarious Labour and Informal Economy - Work, Anarchy, and Society in an Indian Village (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Smita Yadav Precarious Labour and Informal Economy - Work, Anarchy, and Society in an Indian Village (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)

R3,298 Discovery Miles 32 980 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

An empirical account of one of India's largest indigenous populations, this book tells the story of the Gonds-who currently face displacement and governmental control of the region's forests, which has crippled their economy. Rather than protesting and calling for state intervention, the Gonds have turned toward an informal economy: they not only engage with flexible forms of work, but also bargain for higher wages and experience agency and autonomy. Smita Yadav conceives of this withdrawal from the state in favour of precarious forms of work as an expression of anarchy by this marginalized population. Even as she provides rich detail of the Gonds' unusual working lives, which integrate work, labour, and debt practices with ideologies of family and society, Yadav illustrates the strength required to maintain dignity when a welfare state has failed.
