"In recent times the consolidation of neo-liberalism as the political economic model of the world order has offered the material and ideological underpinnings for the demise of labour as a central category of analysis in the study of capitalist dynamics. Contrary to this view, the speeding up of processes of technological innovations and geographical mobility associated with globalization is putting to the fore, once again, the role of workers and labour as fundamental social actors in shaping current societies. Workers and Labour in a Globalised Capitalism offers theoretical and empirical support for this view, with chapters investigating (from interdisciplinary perspectives) issues of class and working-class formation, gender and social reproduction, collective representation and action, immigration, precariousness and informal labour. This is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students."--Back cover
