Working the Night Shift: Women in India's Call Center Industry
- Synopsis
-
In this study appealing to social scientists and anthropologists, Patel (Foreign Service Officer with the U. S. Department of State) exposes the realities of the global call center and how it has changed the lives of working women in India. Call centers in India employ women to work the night shift for a relatively high wage. This career opportunity seems empowering, but the reality of India's male dominated culture has presented new problems in conflict with women working at night. Patel uncovers the effects of this new industry on Indian women's' empowerment via their mobility. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
