Download or read book The Worlds of Indian Industrial Labour written by Jonathan P Parry and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1999 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together original papers by anthropologists, sociologists and historians, this volume represents a response to the relative neglect in recent sociological research of the social processes and consequences of industrialisation in India. It points to the continued disjunction between the study of industrial labour and the `traditional` concerns of Indian sociology, which tend to emphasise the cultural particularity of India, and advocates a rapprochement between the two.
