Journal Article
LABORING IN THE FACTORIES AND IN THE FIELDS
2002
Overview
Since 1980, studies of the wage labor process have been centered mostly on
three topics: the new international division of labor, control over the labor
process, and \"flexibilization\" of production. Anthropologists have
contributed rich studies about modes of control and about how these modes are
linked to social relations within the work place and workers' communities
of origin. They have explained how and why market segmentation can be a
powerful tool of control some of the time, whereas at other times it can
enhance tensions. Anthropologists have also contributed by transforming
stylized models into models centered on actors with social and class identities
and with ambivalent expectations and aspirations. However, they have neglected
to integrate their findings with those from the literature on labor migrations
and job search. They also have neglected to consistently examine contracts and
hiring practices, two major tools of labor control. Although anthropologists
have been attentive to paradigms about global restructuring of industries, they
have often disregarded an intermediate level of analysis: the relationship of
producers and industries to relevant actors in their respective regional labor
markets, and how producers and industries structure local labor markets. A
spatial portrayal of labor markets will facilitate comparative studies about
the impact of industrial restructuring and correct possible biases.
