  • Descrição: Following this pattern, the first three chapters comprise the first part of the text and explore how transnational changes in the flow of capital and labour since the mid-twentieth century have influenced the lives of workers in steel plants and mines (Chapter 1); how the materiality of labour processes interact with gender and racial ideologies in garment and electronics manufacturing industries to produce complex and, at times, contradictory forms of labour agency (Chapter 2); and the relational significance of land concentration and dispossession, labour migration, and plantation economies to the fabrication of persons and communities and, in turn, possibilities for worker resistance (Chapter 3). In Chapter 4, Lazar critically interrogates how intersecting social locations in conjunction with global and local im/mobility influence service workers' capacity to resist labour exploitation. Here, Lazar effectively illustrates the importance of maintaining "networks and relations that enable income generation" for those engaging in patchwork living through such activities as "keeping records of credit arrangements ... holding a purchase for a customer to collect later ... having a beer with a particular scrap dealer ... [or in] the form of collective organisation."
