内容説明

In recent years regions of rural Mexico have specialized in small-scale industry, much of which rests on women's labour. Hidden in people's houses or backstreet workshops, the scale and nature of the industrialization process is difficult to fathom. This book explores the histories, actions and opinions of people from one, small centre during an earlier phase of violence and impoverishment and in later years when work-shops have flourished. Two main themes arise: workshop expansion and differentiation over the past 25 years; the way that gender and class relations have moulded industrial organization while being themselves reformulated over time.
