Gendering Globalization on the Ground: The Limits of Feminized Work for Mexican Women’s Empowerment: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Gendering Globalization on the Ground: The Limits of Feminized Work for Mexican Women’s Empowerment" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

How has globalization worked for women working on the frontlines of neoliberalism on the Mexico-US border? This border divides US from Others, and produces social inequalities that form a site where marginalized border women encounter the othering power of neoliberalism and confront inequalities of gender and class. Within this context, a critical comparison of socially similar women, working either in export production industries or in small-scale commerce and low-level services in Ciudad Jurez, reveals how export factory work constrains womens empowerment at home as well as the wages they earn and the well-being of their households. This volume challenges the neoliberal rationale of empowering women to support market growth, and argues instead for understanding womens empowerment as a process of transformation from disempowerment by gender power relations to challenging masculinist domination in households and, ultimately, the economy and society. Because structures of gender and globalization are mutually constituted, womens empowerment as gender democracy is integral to producing alternative, democratic globalization. Using a feminist methodology that gives attention to the standpoint of women located on the downside of social hierarchies and takes into account strategically diverse points of view, this study develops analysis to counter neoliberal globalization as it touches down in the lives of ordinary women and men on the border and beyond.

Gendering Globalization on the Ground
How has globalization worked for women working on the frontlines of neoliberalism on the Mexico-US border? This border divides US from Others, and produces social inequalities that form a site where marginalized border women encounter the othering power of neoliberalism and confront inequalities of gender and class. Within this context, a critical comparison of socially similar women, working either in export production industries or in small-scale commerce and low-level services in Ciudad Jurez, reveals how export factory work constrains womens empowerment at homeas well as the wages they earn and the well-being of their households. This volume challenges the neoliberal rationale of empowering women to support market growth, and argues instead for understanding womens empowerment as a process of transformation from disempowerment by gender power relations to challenging masculinist domination in households and, ultimately, the economy and society. Because structures of gender and globalization are mutually constituted, womens empowerment as gender democracy is integral to producing alternative, democratic globalization.

Political Economy of Globalization and Its Alternatives:A Gendered Analysis
The assistance and support of a number of people and institutions were crucial to bringing this project to fruition. No one is more important in that regard than Beatriz E. Vera. She was on the ground coordinating the work of the research team as they conducted interviews in Ciudad Jurez, to be sure, but her knowledge, insights, skills, and analytical dexterity complemented my capacities in ways that made me a better researcher and pushed my thinking in new directions over the years we worked together. Heidi Hartmann, President and CEO of the Institute for Womens Policy Research (IWPR) in Washington, DC, provided the initial institutional home for the project at IWPR. The research at the center of the book was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No. SES 8922236. Of course, the interpretation of the findings and the conclusions I draw from them are mine and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
