Book Description:

"No Place Like Home" examines the emergence of home-based women workers as paradigmatic figures of contemporary capitalism, neoliberal governmentality, and socio-political contestation. Far from an isolated or contingent situation, home-based work constitutes today an enormous arena of "invisible" social and political struggles of subaltern and ethno-racially subordinated women.
