This paper focuses on the processes of migrant labour exploitation which are crucial for capitalist growth and the inequalities they generate. Ethnographic research conducted in different sites across India shows how patterns of seasonal labour migration are driven by class relations marked by hierarchies of identity (caste and tribe) and the spatial geopolitics of internal colonialism (region) – differences that are mobilised for accumulation. Labour migration scholarship has mainly explored sites of production. We extend recent social reproduction theory (SRT) and an older literature on labour migration and reproduction to argue that the intimate relationship between production and social reproduction is crucial to the exploitation of migrant labour and that this means we have to place centre-stage the analysis of invisible economies of care which take place across spatiotemporally divided households, both in the place of migration and in the home regions of migrants. Furthermore, we develop recent work on SRT and migration to argue that an analysis of kinship (gender over generations, not just gender) is crucial to these invisible economies of care. This analysis is important in showing the machinations of capitalist growth and for political alternatives.

移徙和无形的照料经济：印度的生产、社会再生产和季节性移徙劳动力

本文重点关注对资本主义增长至关重要的移民劳动力剥削过程及其产生的不平等。在印度不同地点进行的民族志研究表明，季节性劳动力迁移的模式是如何受到以身份等级（种姓和部落）为标志的阶级关系以及内部殖民主义（地区）的空间地缘政治——为积累而动员的差异所驱动的。劳务移民奖学金主要探索生产地点。我们扩展了最近的社会再生产理论 (SRT) 和关于劳动力迁移和再生产的旧文献，认为生产和社会再生产之间的密切关系对于剥削流动劳动力至关重要，这意味着我们必须将分析置于中心位置无形的照料经济发生在时空分离的家庭中，无论是在移民地还是在移民的家乡地区。此外，我们最近开展了关于 SRT 和移民的工作，以论证对亲属关系（跨代的性别，而不仅仅是性别）的分析对于这些无形的护理经济至关重要。这种分析对于展示资本主义增长的阴谋和政治选择很重要。在移徙地和移徙者的家乡地区。此外，我们最近开展了关于 SRT 和移民的工作，以论证对亲属关系（跨代的性别，而不仅仅是性别）的分析对于这些无形的护理经济至关重要。这种分析对于展示资本主义增长的阴谋和政治选择很重要。在移徙地和移徙者的家乡地区。此外，我们最近开展了关于 SRT 和移民的工作，以论证对亲属关系（跨代的性别，而不仅仅是性别）的分析对于这些无形的护理经济至关重要。这种分析对于展示资本主义增长的阴谋和政治选择很重要。
