- Description
- Ghodsee intertwines ethnographies with widely held assumptions about how the transition from communism to the free market affected the economy, the society, and the people. Tourism has rewarded the highly educated women who dominate the industry. She further questions the relevance of women's Ngos which emphasize non-economic issues rather than focusing on education and jobs.
