This book reminds us that we must know what happens on the shop-floor to understand the factory. In South Asian labour historiography, we have theorized capitalist strategy without paying sufficient attention to the actual work process. It is also blindingly obvious, as the author of this book points out, that workers’ everyday experience of work is critical to their politics. * Samita Sen, Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, Cambridge University, UK * [This book] highlights the importance of work relations and the organisation of work – conventionally known as labour process theory – in our understanding of the Jute Industry, its working population and its political economy between the 1870s and the 1940s in Calcutta…The discussion presented in the monograph is illuminating and analytically valuable. * Dhiraj Kumar Nite, Social Scientist, Ambedkar University Delhi, India *
