We Are in This Dance Together: Gender, Power and Globalization at a Mexican Garment Firm
Nancy Plankey-Videla
Uses in-depth interviews with over sixty workers, managers, and policy makers to document and analyse events leading up to the female-led factory strike in March 2001 at a high-end producer of men's suits in Mexico and the strike's aftermath. It illustrates how the women's shared identity as workers and mothers, deserving of dignity, respect, and a living wage, became the basis for radicalization and led to further civic organising against the state, the company, and a corrupt union.
