Gendered Struggles against Globalisation in Mexico (Gender in a Global/Local World)

Gendered Struggles against Globalisation in Mexico examines resistance within Mexican society during a period of sustained crisis at the regional and national level, as well as the level of world order. Gender, having played a central role in the construction of relatively stable historical structures in Mexico, continued to shape the struggles of radical labour movements throughout a period of deepening globalisation. This book: Analyses how working class men organised to fight for the recognition of their citizenship rights and how they defended those rights when faced with repression and economic restructuring. Explains how they contested the terms of globalisation as it wrested from them their masculine identity of 'worker-father'. Shows how they battled employers and masculinised political power at every level within the state to maintain their livelihoods and resist the feminisation of their work and their own identities. Argues that these were gendered struggles against globalisation as they were experienced and carried out by men. Book jacket.
