Leslie Salzinger worked in four "maquiladoras" in northern Mexico, and in this book she takes us inside the gendered world of these global factories. Her ethnographic work, personal voice, and sophisticated analysis capture the feel of life inside the maquiladoras, grounding contemporary feminist theory in an examination of daily practices and providing a fresh perspective on globalization.
