Resilient Labour: Workplace Regimes, Globalisation and Enclave Development in Swaziland
通过斯威士兰一个基督教企业镇的劳动民族志，研究外国投资对当地工人的影响，发现种族隔离飞地经济的遗产使工人未来蒙上阴影，经济二元性阻碍了包容性增长。
Are new forms of foreign investment in Africa having a major impact on local workers? Are they significantly altering labour practices and conditions? I explore these questions with reference to Swaziland and the ethnography of labour relations in a Christian company town. A comparative perspective looking at the South African regional economy shows that the legacy of apartheid enclave development casts a shadow over workers’ futures. Economic dualism, characterised by cheap labour drawn from an ever expanding informal sector and reinforced by social, political and institutional factors, tends to neutralise the possibility of inclusive economic growth driven by foreign capital.
