High Tech and High Heels in the Global Economy: Women, Work, and Pink-Collar Identities in the Caribbean
ISBN: 9780822324393 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "High Tech and High Heels in the Global Economy" is an ethnography of globalization positioned at the intersection between political economy and cultural studies. Carla Freeman's fieldwork in Barbados grounds the processes of transnational capitalism--production, consumption, and the crafting of modern identities--in the lives of Afro-Caribbean women working in a new high-tech industry called "informatics." It places gender at the center of transnational analysis, and local Caribbean culture and history at the center of global studies.
