Book Review: Society in time and space: a geographical perspective on change

approach. The conclusion raises some explicitly geographical issues that are the strength of the book; most importantly that gender identities and hierarchies are renegotiated at a range of interlocking spatial scales within the context of global investment zones. Women and work in Mexico’s maquiladoras is a useful case study book, whose main contribution is its holistic approach and the chapter on dormitory workers. However, although some interesting ideas are raised, a number of truisms are repeated throughout the text, with little recognition that others have already discussed certain themes. The gendering of the book is also rather patchy; there are chapters with little or no reference to gender issues. Overall, however, it is worth reading for an update of some themes raised in earlier works on this fascinating industry in Mexico.
