Unpacking the Fashion Industry

Gender, Racism and Class in Production

By: Annie Phizacklea

First Published in 1990 Unpacking the Fashion Industry spotlights a side of the industry the consumer never sees. What is the fashion clothing industry really like? What lies behind the glamour of the cat-walks and the glossy magazines? Annie Phizacklea focuses on the small firm sector of fashionwear production, based predominantly on ethnic entrepreneurship and cheap female labour and analyses the complex interaction of gender, class and racism in this sector of the industry. This book is a must read for scholars and researchers of sociology, gender studies and social anthropology.

Gender and International Migration in Europe

Employment, Welfare and Politics

By: Eleonore Kofman,Annie Phizacklea,Parvati Raghuram,Rosemary Sales

Gender and International Migration in Europe is a unique work which introduces a gender dimension into theories of contemporary migrations. As the European Union seeks to extend equal opportunities, increasingly restrictionist immigration policies and the persistence of racism, deny autonomy and choice to migrant women. This work demonstrates how processes of globalisation and change in state policies on employment and welfare have maintained a demand for diverse forms of gendered immigration. The authors examine state and European Union policies of immigration control, family reunion, refugees and the management of immigrant and ethnic minority communities. Most importantly this work considers the opportunities created for political activity by migrant women and the extent to which they are able to influence and participate in mainstream policy-making. This volume will be essential reading for anyone involved in or interested in modern European immigration policy.

Trans-Nationalism and the Politics of Belonging

By: Annie Phizacklea,Dr Sallie Westwood,Sallie Westwood

In this book, two leading authorities on migration and nationhood attempt to bridge the gap between experience and analysis, looking at: * the disorientating effects of space and time which migration creates * how migration affects our understanding of national affiliations and the nation state * the impact of cross national economic relations on everyday life. The authors examine the migration of both rich and poor, crossing borders and living increasingly diasporic lives, and show how even as people move across borders, they still seek to be at home in the world through the creation of a "politics of belonging".

Homeworking Women

Gender, Racism and Class at Work

By: Annie Phizacklea Carol Wolkowitz,Professor Annie Phizacklea,Dr Carol Wolkowitz

An up-to-date overview of all types of home-based work is provided in this volume, which makes an important contribution to sociological and policy debates on homeworking. The authors argue that homeworking replicates wider divisions in the labour force and that its potential for improving women's employment opportunities is therefore limited. Using original research, they outline the advantages and disadvantages, the pay and conditions, and the family situations for contemporary women homeworkers. Gender, class, racism and ethnicity are shown to be key factors in constructing the homeworking labour force. The authors acknowledge the shared position that homeworkers occupy as women, as well as the differences experienced by clerical, manufacturing and professional homeworkers, and question whether new technology in itself can be the way forward to a better paid, less onerous form of homeworking.

Homeworking Women

A Gender Justice Perspective

By: Annie Delaney,Rosaria Burchielli,Shelley Marshall,Jane Tate

Homework; work that is categorised as informal employment, performed in the home, mainly for subcontractors and mostly undertaken by women. The inequities and injustices inherent in homework conditions maintain women’s weak bargaining position, preventing them from making any improvements to their lives via their work. The best way to tackle these issues is not to abolish, but to bring equality and justice to homework. This book contributes a gender justice framework to analyse and confront the issues and problems of homework. The authors propose four justice dimensions – recognition, representation, rights and redistribution – to examine and analyse homework. This framework also takes into account the structures and processes of capitalism and the patriarchy, and the relations of domination that are widely held to be the major factors that determine homework injustice. The authors discuss strategies and approaches that have worked for homeworkers, highlighting why they worked and the features that were beneficial for them. Homeworking Women will be of interest to individuals and organisations working with or for the collective benefit of homeworkers, academics and students interested in feminism, labour regulation, informal work, supply chains and social and political justice.
