- The Sweatshop Regime explores processes regenerating informal, precarious labour in India’s export-oriented garment industry, in both factories and home-based spaces across urban and rural areas. The book’s arguments are supported by findings from multiple rounds of fieldwork, collected over a decade of research across the subcontinent. Findings are based on mixed data collection methods, including semi-structured interviews with multiple commodity chain actors, semi-quantitative surveys with workers, life histories with labour contractors, and ethnography. The book engages with key debates in theory, policy and practice and political economy of development; like those on industrial modernisation, modern slavery and global labour standards.
