"Widespread claims have been made on the emergence of a new labor internationalism in response to the growing insecurity created by globalization. This book grounds globalization in the everyday lives of workers, their households, and their communities. It compares three towns - Orange in Australia, Changwon in South Korea, and Ezakheni in South Africa - and shows how the global restructuring of white goods corporations is creating a profound experience of insecurity within workers, their families, and their communities." "Grounding Globalization contains a warning: at times, workers do turn inward and become fatalistic, even xenophobic. But there are signs of hope. The book explores the possibilities of re-empowering labor through engaging space and scale in new ways. Workers are rising to the challenge of neoliberal globalization by attempting to globalize their own struggles."--Jacket
