These domestic spaces constitute a significant portion of workers’ compensation. Jobs—and the houses that come with them—are inherited by successive generations of workers, but houses remain the property of plantations. Archival and ethnographic stories about the provision, inheritance, and upkeep of houses bring attention to the continued importance of “fixity” to capitalist regimes of accumulation. Fixity has three dimensions: a persistent association between ethnicity, place, and work; the fostering of senses of belonging through systems of inheritance; and the routine maintenance of infrastructures, including housing. As a theoretical and descriptive tool, fixity highlights a tension in late capitalism between work and life, and between freedom and bondage.

Her husband, Girish, had just returned from the bazaar in town with a bucket of paint to touch up their house for the upcoming Hindu festivals. We continued to chat as Lal Kumari moved on to hanging laundry and I picked rocks out of a pile of uncooked rice spread out on a circular bamboo tray. Girish’s rhythmic up-and-down brushing motions kept me mesmerized. I watched as the bright green paint seeped into the crags in the wide wooden planks. With one watery coat, the dark rings of mold, accrued during the five-month monsoon, faded away. Each year during the festival season, Lal Kumari and Girish bought new clothes, painted their house, and awaited visits from children and grandchildren scattered across Darjeeling and beyond. They had the money to do these things thanks to a bonus that the plantation provided to Lal Kumari each year during the fall Hindu festival season. In the layers of paint and wood, one could detect a sedimentation of kin and labor relations over time. Harvesting tea is not an annual or even seasonal activity, as with coffee or wine. Rather, it is plucked nearly continuously, 10 to 11 months per year. During the plucking season, women like Lal Kumari pass through the fields, coming back to the same bushes over and over again to find the freshest sprigs of tea. In the short dormant season, these women prune those same bushes to incite more sprigs to grow next season.
