| Teresa Healy examines resistance within Mexican society during a period of sustained crisis at the regional and national level, as well as at the level of world order. She analyzes how working class men organized to fight for the recognition of their citizenship rights, how they defended those rights when faced with repression and economic restructuring and how they contested the terms of globalization as it wrested from them their masculine identity of "worker-fathers". Healy also demonstrates how these men battled employers and masculinized political power at every level within the state to maintain their livelihoods and resist the feminization of their work and their own identities. These were gendered struggles against globalizations as they were experienced and carried out by men. The volume uncovers the limits and possibilities of working class men and women in transforming the conditions in which they live and work, and highlights the diversity and rich political history of social movements in Mexico. Contents: Introduction; 'Of labour and social provision': gender, production and revolutionary nationalism; Nissan workers, caudillismo and social unionism; The maquilisation of Ford de México; Volkswagen, NAFTA and the disintegration of labour rights in Mexico; Globalisation and the gendering of working class politics; Bibliography; Index. | |
