Tietoa kirjasta:

From the Revolution to the Maquiladoras is a major contribution to the study of globalization, labor, and womens movements. Jennifer Bickham Mendez presents a detailed ethnographic account of the Nicaraguan Working and Unemployed Womens Movement, María Elena Cuadra (mec), which emerged as an autonomous organization in 1994. Most of its efforts revolve around organizing women workers in Nicaraguas free trade zones and working to improve conditions in maquiladora factories. Mendez examines the structural and cultural elements of mec in order to demonstrate how globalization affects grassroots advocacy for social and economic justice. She argues that globalization has created opportunities for new forms of organizing among those local populations that suffer its effects and that mec, which has forged vital links with transnational feminist and labor groups, exemplifies the possibilitiesand pitfallsof this new type of organizing.
