“…As the effects of global restructuring have become more visible, many women have responded by becoming involved in political action (Basu, 1995;Chhachhi and Pittin, 1996;Rowbotham and Mitter,1994;Rowbotham and Linkogle, 2001). Not surprisingly their campaigns have been firmly rooted in everyday life as they have tackled the challenges of survival in the context of uncertainty.…”

“…In contemporary labour debates, instead, narratives counterpoising commodification and exploitation have gained momentum, based on relatively polarised understandings of Marxist or Polanyian concerns and 'struggles'. 49 The extent to which one can conceptualise commodification as a primarily Polanyian 'concern' and exploitation as a primarily Marxist 'concern' is subject to intense debate. A thorough review of this debate goes beyond the scope of this paper.…”

Class, gender and the sweatshop: on the nexus between labour commodification and exploitation

Drawing on approaches to class stressing the multiplicity of labour relations at work under capitalism and from feminist insights on oppression and social reproduction, this paper illustrates the interconnection between processes of class formation and patriarchal norms in globalised production circuits. The analysis emphasises the nexus between the commodification and exploitation of women's labour, and how it structures gendered-wage differentials, labour control, and the high 'disposability' of women's work. The analysis develops these arguments by exploring the case of the Indian garment industry and its gendered sweatshop regime. It illustrates how commodification and exploitation interplay in factory and home-based realms, and discusses how an approach on class premised on social reproduction changes the social perimeters of what we understand as labour 'unfreedom' and labour struggles.
