Zusammenfassung:"Highly detailed and well-argued study focuses on mostly women workers in a Trinidadian factory. Utilizes approach which author claims unites history, culture, structure, and agency. In fact, coherent and theoretically sophisticated analytical framework provides context for the ethnographically rich, multi-dimensional narratives of women workers 'who endure oppression while at the same time reclaiming their dignity.' Core argument is that the production process 'becomes a site where the meanings of ethnicity, class, and gender are constructed, contested, and consented to.'"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.. - http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
