This timely account illustrates the ironic and, at times, unsettling experiences of women who enter the spaces and places made accessible through call center work. It uncovers how call center employment affects their lives, mainly as it relates to the anxiety that Indian families and Indian society have towards women going out at night, earning a good salary, and being exposed to western culture. Working the Night Shift is the first in-depth study of the transnational call center industry that is written from the point of view of women workers. This book explores how beliefs about what constitutes "women's work" are evolving in response to globalization. At the same time, night shift employment presents women, in particular, with new challenges alongside the opportunities. Relatively high wages and the opportunity to be part of an upscale, globalized work environment draw many in India to the call center industry. Although there are no visible barriers such as “men only” signs written into public space, women’s bodies continue to be marked as a site of transgression. Based on exploratory research conducted in Mumbai, India in January, 2005, I argue that the insertion of women into the urban nightscape, via the night shift requirements of the global economy, is met with covert resistance. However, women are participating in this industry and corporate strategies, such as the use of private shuttle vans to transport women to and from work in the middle of the night, reflect the ways in which both the industry and its female employees negotiate a presence in the public sphere. For a woman in India to be out at this hour is generally considered improper and unsafe. Specific to call center employment, mobility is important because it requires night shift workers. Yet, the emergence of this industry is not shifting patriarchal relations of power in a significant way due to social and spatial constraints on women’s mobility in the urban nightscape.
