Jan (Universiteit van Amsterdam) Breman

Opis

Breman takes dispossession as his central theme in this ambitious analysis of labour bondage in India's changing political economy.

Recenzje

'… Jan Breman's work will certainly stand the test of time not only as evidence to the sufferings and fights of the dispossessed laboring, but also as an exercise in academic excellence, fueled by empathy that ultimately generated profound and intricate scholarly insights.' Nikolay Kamenov, H-Soz-Kult
