The Children of NAFTA: Labor Wars on the U.S./Mexico Border (review)

Throughout the book, Femenfas also embeds the production and consumption of polleras into the political and economic relationships of Peru at a time of violence and unrest. In the Introduction, "False Borders, Embroidered Lives," we are most forcefully made aware of the sense of terror that permeates the lives of Peruvians, as well as the anthropologist doing fieldwork, in the 1990s. After introducing readers to the markets and workshops in which she did her fieldwork over the course of two years, the author intertwines her discussion of the practice of fieldwork with descriptions of Caylloma homes, market kiosks, and agricultural landscapes in the chapter, "Traveling." In "Fabricating Ethnic Frontiers" the author moves her attention from "[cjharacterizing subjectivity through the relationship between 'field' and 'home'" (p. 74) to the ways ethnicity and race operate in Caylloma and Peru. Although the everyday violence of Peru in the 1990s fades from view in the chapters exploring dress and identity, the culminating chapters return to questions of materiality by delving into the gendered aspects of workshop production of bordados and the international circulation and commodification of cloth.
