Grounding Globalization by Edward Webster
Claims have been made on the emergence of a new labour internationalism in response to the growing insecurity created by globalization. However, when persons face conditions of insecurity they often turn inwards. The book contains a warning and a sign of hope. Some workers become fatalistic, even xenophobic.-

“Grounding Globalization is a magnificent culmination of work the authors have done previously on South Africa and SIGTUR in particularIt is most certainly ‘grounded’ in the working lives of real people. It is robust and critical social research at its best. Labour analysts and activists will undoubtedly be reading it carefully for years to come.” (Globalizations, February 2009)
