Capitalism: A Ghost Story

handle is hein.journals/labstuj39 and id is 319 raw text is: Book Reviews Through its case studies, this book solidly reinforces the concept, as Audre Lorde explains, that single-issue research and organizing is ineffective because we do not lead single-issue lives. Handel, Jonathan. Entertainment Labor: An Interdisciplinary Bibliography. Los Angeles: Hollywood Analytics, 2013. 345 pp. $95.00 (paperback). Reviewed by: Sheree K. Gregory, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia Jonathan Handel writes about issues surrounding labor relations and industrial democ- racy in the Hollywood entertainment industry. His latest book, Entertainment Labor: An Interdisciplinary Bibliography, is extremely well researched, providing both depth and breadth in its coverage. The bib- liography consists of 30 chapters and is multi-disciplinary, including social science articles and books, legal articles and books, and books about labor and class. Entertainment Labor includes numerous annotations, a 90-page index, a detailed chapter on materials available from unions and guilds themselves, capsule descrip- tions of legal cases, page references, and URLs. Handel references a wide range of relevant material from books, reports, articles, theses and dissertations, websites and blogs, audiovisual material, and statutes and regulations. The two largest sections-Legal Articles and Reports (40 pages) and Foreign Organizations (10 pages)-demonstrate the extensive references. The bibliography would be useful to academics, attorneys, or legal scholars who study or work with the entertainment unions and graduate students interested in enter- tainment labor issues. It is a user-friendly and accessible bibliography to assist research in the field. Roy, Arundhati. Capitalism: A Ghost Story. Chicago: Haymarket Books, 2014. I36 pp. $14.95 (paperback).

A diaspora of both professionals and laborers has resulted in the creation of Indian communities across the world, and with these communities has come the pro- liferation of foodways and the popularization of Bollywood movies, many of which now play in major theater chains across the United States. In fact, Indian characters are central to several popular American sitcoms, although often as crude ethnic stereo- types, while British movies such as The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012) feature middle-class white folks finding redemption and shedding inhibitions upon arriving on that often mystifying subcontinent-Orientalism at its most charming. Those outside of India might therefore have been forgiven their ignorance of that nation's legacy of environmental damage, poverty, militarism, and exploitation-but 323
