"Felstead and Jewson set out in this volume to explore the global growth of people earning a living at home and the meaning and experience of this form of employment for workers and their families. Taking the "spatial location of home-located production as the defining feature of this phenomenon, they note that homeworkers are a diverse and heterogeneous group. Felstead and Jewson rightly direct our attention to the diversity of workers in work at home around the globe, but in the process they obscure or neglect a full and fruitful analysis of the inequalities of race, gender, and class built into this employment relationship. While this book will prove to be useful resource for researchers interested in home-located work, it would be a daunting read for most students." -Contemporary Sociology.
