Beschreibung
Using ethnographic research and document analysis, Labour, Nature and Capitalism traces how the alliance between labour and capital manifests in the form of conflicts between organized trade unions and a local environmental movement in the context of the much-acclaimed Kerala model of development. It explores the history of the area’s local industrialization, the presence of varied economic interests and exposes the barriers to forming solidarity networks among the working-classes.
Situated in the backdrop of Eloor-Edayar industrial belt, this book delves deeper into the ways in which capitalism infiltrates and manipulates the terrain of movement mobilizing. In doing so, it seeks to bring capitalism back to the centre of mainstream movement studies, by highlighting how capitalist rationality mediates mobilization processes in a postcolonial setting.
Foregrounding the experiences of movement actors, the book uses hybrid ethnography as an approach to look simultaneously at structural and individual factors underlying the tension between trade unions and the local environmental movement. The narratives featured in this book uncover the disputes produced by unions and working-class environmental movements surrounding the issue of industrial pollution and illustrates how these disputes are guided by the opposing ideologies of development held by the two movements.
Praise for Labour, Nature and Capitalism
'Labour, Nature and Capitalism is a carefully researched as well as theoretically astute book on a subject of vital importance to India and the world. Based on fieldwork in Kerala, Dr Silpa Satheesh studies the tensions between grassroots environmental groups and trade unions, analysing how factory labour finds itself in opposition to other, even more vulnerable sections, of the working-class. Importantly, she explores both the organizational as well as affective aspects of struggle, allowing activists to speak loud and clear in their own voices. Through her work, Dr Satheesh convincingly demonstrates that the conventional polarity of ‘environment versus development’ is false and even pernicious.'
