Explore the multifaceted reality of Indian labour with ‘Small Hands, Big Deeds: New Forms of Labour Mobilisation’ by R. Swaminathan. This insightful book challenges the traditional focus on organised industrial labour, revealing how this historical bias marginalises other crucial worker movements and concerns. Swaminathan critically deconstructs the ‘adult’ logic underpinning global capitalism and even counter-cultural narratives, highlighting overlooked forms of protest and activism. Delving into child labour, child rights, and various labour outfits, this work offers a fresh perspective on social mobilisation and class history, making it essential reading for anyone interested in labour studies, sociology, and contemporary Indian society. Discover the hidden narratives of Indian workers.
