Cross-border trade has also enabled women to become independent, to articulate a new collective identity, and to develop local and regional economies based on creative responses to the uncertainties created by the structural adjustment programmes in the region.

- Description
- Van den Heuvel examines the role women played in trade in the early modern period in the Northern Nertherlands. She looks at three forms of commercial enterprise in particular: street selling and stallholding, shopkeeping, and international commerce. The study focusses on several urban and rural areas of the country, and on the relationship between economic trends and women's participation in entrepreneurship. With case studies of the cities Amsterdam, Leiden and 's-Hertogenbosch, the villages Graft and Winkel, and the polder Zijpe. One of the conclusions is that it was not the Dutch Golden Age (the seventeenth century), but rather the subsequent century which provided a favourable climate for female entrepreneurship.

- Description
- The 'market woman' is ingrained in popular imagination as the archetype of black womanhood in countries throughout the Caribbean. Ulysse, a Haitian-American anthropologist, offers a more complex picture by documenting the history of independent international traders who travel abroad to import and export the goods sold in the public markets of Kingston, Jamaica. Informing her story of their self-making with reflections on her own experience, she combines the study of political economy with the study of individual and collective identity to reveal the uneven consequences of disrupting traditional class, color, and gender codes in individual societies and around the world.
