Free Download Wages of Violence: Naming and Identity in Postcolonial Bombay By Thomas Blom Hansen
2001 | 269 Pages | ISBN: 0691088403 | PDF | 4 MB
When Bombay changed its name to Mumbai in 1995, it was the culmination of a long process that transformed India’s primary symbol of modernity and cultural diversity into a site of intense ethnic conflict and violent nationalism. Wages of Violence is a startling account of how the city’s atmosphere, dominant public languages, and power structures have changed since the 1960s. The book centers on how Shiv Sena, a militant Hindu movement, has advanced a new, ”plebeian” political culture and has undermined democratic rule in India’s premier city. Drawing on a large body of archival material and conversations with people from all walks of life, Thomas Blom Hansen paints a vivid picture of this dynamic and violent movement. Challenging conventional views of recent trends in Indian politics, Hansen shows that the xenophobic public culture of today’s Mumbai has deep roots in the region’s history and its contested identities. We are also given revealing insights into the city’s Muslim communities and the authorities’ understanding and control of the ethno-religious subcultures in the city. Hansen argues cogently that Shiv Sena’s success represents the violent possibilities of the ”vernacularization” of democracy in India. Unfolding at a juncture where the globalization of India’s economy is having a deepening impact on the lives of ordinary people, this is a story that resonates with the directions urban growth is taking both elsewhere in India and beyond.

Free Download The Wages of Whiteness: Race and the Making of the American Working Class (Haymarket Series) by David R. Roediger, Patrick Lawlor, Bahni Turpin
English | 2017 | ISBN: B072FRY6PX | Format: MP3 / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 8 hours and 45 minutes | 240 Mb
Combining classical Marxism, psychoanalysis, and the new labor history pioneered by E. P. Thompson and Herbert Gutman, David Roediger’s widely acclaimed book provides an original study of the formative years of working-class racism in the United States. This, he argues, cannot be explained simply with reference to economic advantage; rather, white working-class racism is underpinned by a complex series of psychological and ideological mechanisms that reinforce racial stereotypes, and thus help to forge the identities of white workers in opposition to Blacks.
In a new preface, Roediger reflects on the reception, influence, and critical response to The Wages of Whiteness, while Kathleen Cleaver’s insightful introduction hails the importance of a work that has become a classic.

On the basis of numerous interviews with experts from the field (e.g. trade unions, employers’ associations, customs) and a comprehensive evaluation of the broad international research literature, it identifies starting points and strategies for sustainably improving compliance with and enforcement of minimum wages.
