Constructions of power and resistance, as well as individual aspirations and identities, are explored through articulations of class, gender and religion in both management discourses and shop floor practices. Leila Chakravarti’s compelling study also moves beyond the confines of the factory, examining the interplay with the wider world around it.Clothing tradeEgyptWomen clothing workersEgyptClothing workersEgyptOrganizational behaviorOrganizational sociologyabuse of power.anthropology.business economics.capitalism.class warfare.class.educated minimum wage workers.egypt.gender dynamics in workplace.gender studies.gender.globalized supply chain.human rights.late stage capitalism.money and power.patriarchy.sociology.sweat shop labor.wealth.workplace culture.Clothing tradeWomen clothing workersClothing workersOrganizational behavior.Organizational sociology.331.4/8870962Chakravarti Leila Zaki1566949MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798696403321Made in Egypt3837977UNINA
