About This Item
xiii+245 page with plates, appendix, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's dark gray cloth with silver lettering to spine in original jacket. Texas Press source books in Anthropology. First edition. This study documents the important, necessary role of market women in Peru's dependent capitalist economy. Providing an overview of Peruvian history, Florece Babb focuses on the daily lives and work of the market women and their strategies of combining their emergent productive and traditional reproductive roles. She also traces how the economic condition of these women and their families has declined over the last ten years. These important and troubling findings will be essential for students of Latin America, the Third World and women studies. Condition: Stamp to heal end pages. Jacket with small closed tear at head hinge edge.
