N1  - Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-259) and index
N2  - Drawing on three years of fieldwork in hospitals and nursing homes in the city of Kolkata, the book is an ethnographic study that analyses how hierarchies at workplace intersect with social identities to produce a differentiated workforce. The book interrogates the politics of distinction and distancing that produces a feminine workforce divided by class, caste and sexualities to examine the various contestations among ranks of workers who deploy modernity, morality and gendered norms as strategies to secure marginal gains at the expense of others
