Overview

This book offers a timely analysis of work and labor processes and how they are rapidly changing under globalization.

Contributors and Topics

The contributors explore traditional sectors of the U.S. and world economies - from auto to steel to agriculture - as well as work under new production arrangements, such as third world export processing zones.

Many chapters analyze changing dynamics of gender, nationality, and class.

Key Themes

The contributors explain why more intensified forms of control by the state and by capital interests are emerging under globalization.

Yet they also emphasize new possibilities for labor, including new forms of organizing and power sharing in a rapidly changing economy.
