"This is an archeology of gendering. Salzinger brilliantly traces the specificities, variability, and contingencies in the emergence of gendered subjects across different production environments, moving from femininity as attribute to femininity as generative. In so doing she launches a new phase in the study of women employed in off-shore production, with significant implications for women in factories generally."--Saskia Sassen, author of "The Global City
"This is a book Border Studies has been waiting for--a pathbreaking study of the gendered meanings and identities at work in the transnational assembly plants that dominate the social landscape of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. . . . It will surely become a classic in the field."--Pablo Vila, author of "Crossing Borders, Reinforcing Borders, "and "Ethnography at the Border"
