印度穆斯林工匠之间的网络、劳动和移民为北印度穆斯林主导的木工行业的生活、工作和移民提供了民族志。它追踪了当地背景下、印度境内移民期间以及墨西哥湾的手工联系,研究了木工如何利用基于身份、宗教信仰和情感循环的本地和跨国网络来获取资源、支持和互动形式。然而,这本书也说明了自由化、日益加剧的边缘化形式和融入全球生产网络如何导致空间压力、手工劳动的碎片化,以及尽管地理流动性和连通性仍然存在的奴役形式。托马斯·钱伯斯(ThomasChambers)通过跨越边缘性和关联性的辩证法,通过提供与工匠和行业其他人分享日常生活的人种学描述,思考这些复杂性和二元性。
Networks, Labour and Migration Among Indian Muslim Artisans (Economic Exposures in Asia)
Networks, Labour and Migration Among Indian Muslim Artisans provides an ethnography of life, work, and migration in a North Indian Muslim-dominated woodworking industry. It traces artisanal connections within the local context, during migration within India, and to the Gulf, examining how woodworkers utilize local and transnational networks, based on identity, religiosity, and affective circulations, to access resources, support, and forms of mutuality. However, the book also illustrates how liberalization, intensifying forms of marginalization and incorporation into global production networks have led to spatial pressures, fragmentation of artisanal labor, and forms of enslavement that persist despite geographical mobility and connectedness. By working across the dialectic of marginality and connectedness, Thomas Chambers thinks through these complexities and dualities by providing an ethnographic account that shares everyday life with artisans and others in the industry.
