他们有自己的兴趣。除了迎合外国人，古尔冈还迎合印度精英吗？我也想知道地点是否重要，但以不同的方式-事实上，这些呼叫中心有英国和美国的客户，并位于印度的城市，而不是在另一个国家的城市，重要吗？英国殖民主义的历史联系和遗产是否促进了他们的成功创作？Aneesh还将自然科学和社会科学的实证研究编织在一起，分析呼叫中心工作时间的意外后果，这些工作时间与客户群的时区一致，包括对家庭生活的限制，交通问题和身体影响。Aneesh在第五章的结尾指出，这些问题并不局限于呼叫中心的员工。然而，在这个日益相互关联的时代，它也不一定是“新”的。许多社会经济地位较低的人从事各种形式的夜间工作-无论是卖淫、清洁服务、保安/警察工作、志愿社会服务（例如，或快餐-几十年来。一方面，正如Aneesh所说，当前全球化时代的速度和相互关联性不断提高，这涉及到此类工作向新领域的扩散和就业机会的增加。另一方面，贫困工人、少数民族工人和女工在多大程度上经历了这种夜班及其意想不到的后果，同时还要维持家庭？他的研究中的电话工人是否代表了这类工作向印度相对中产阶级和受教育程度更高的人的转移？这与平衡工作、家庭和抱负的优先事项的变化有什么关系？在《中性口音》一书中，Aneesh撰写了一份写得很好、清晰而简洁的手稿，揭示了在所谓的跨文化互动中心中，沟通实际上是如何运作的。他为我们关于全球化、不平等、身份建构和工作的知识做出了几项重要而创造性的贡献，并通过定位不同群体的人在虚拟相遇时再现的多重断开来做到这一点。《廉价犯罪：经济衰退时代的政治与美国惩罚的转变》，哈达尔·阿维拉姆著。奥克兰：加州大学出版社，2015年。252页。29.95美元的纸ISBN：9780520277311。
who have their own sets of interests. In addition to catering to foreigners, does Gurgaon cater to elite Indians? I also wonder whether place does matter, but in a different way— does the fact that these call centers have British and U.S. clients and are located in an Indian city, as opposed to a city in another country, matter? Do the historical connections and legacies of British colonialism facilitate their successful creations? Aneesh also weaves together natural and social science empirical research to analyze the unintended consequences of call center work hours, which are in line with the time zones of their customer bases, including restrictions to family life, transportation problems, and physical effects. Aneesh points out at the end of Chapter Five that these problems are not something limited to call center employees. Yet, it is also not something that is necessarily ‘‘new’’ in this era of increasing interconnectedness. Many people with lower socio-economic status have engaged in varied forms of night work— whether prostitution, janitorial services, security/police work, volunteer social services (e.g., hotlines), or fast food—for decades. On one hand, the increasing speed and interconnectedness of the current age of globalization involves the proliferation of such work to new realms and increasing numbers of jobs, as Aneesh contends. On the other hand, to what extent have poor, minority, and women workers experienced such night shifts and their unintended consequences while also maintaining families? Do the call workers of his study represent a shift of this type of work to the relative middle class and more educated in India? How might this align with shifting priorities with regard to balancing work, family, and ambition? In Neutral Accent, Aneesh has produced a well-written, clear, and concise manuscript that unravels how communication actually works in so-called centers of cross-cultural interaction. He provides several important and creative contributions to our knowledge about globalization, inequality, identity construction, and work, and does so by locating the multiple disconnections that are reproduced when people of different groups virtually meet.
