- Description
- The authors in this volume employ feminist, ethnographic methods to examine what free trade and export processing zones, economic liberalization, and currency reform mean to women in Argentina, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Ghana, The United States, Jamaica, and many other places. The perspective ranges from the macroeconomic to the cases of local traders or textile workers. Discourses and stereotypes are not the same in different regions or parts of the world They can clarify the position of women, but they can also veil their marginalization. .
