Representing Children: Power, Policy and the Discourse on Child Labour in the football manufacturing industry of Sialkot

by Ali Khan

The book examines the determinants of child labour in a specific situation not as the stereotypical response to poverty and underdevelopment but as being rooted in more local determinants. It also investigates how the process of development so often marginalizes those it professes to benefit. This central issue is examined through the example and analysis of child labour in the football manufacturing industry of Sialkot.
