    About this ebook

  • Former South End Press title that sold 3276 copies.
  • New Introduction by Dana Frank
  • Course adoption potential
  • Bananeras is a pathbreaking study of (Latin American) women's successful empowerment through the labor movement, and the ways in which women and their male allies have redefined what a labor movement looks like.
  • This is one of the few books on recent Honduras, and Honduras is important because of the repressive aftermath of the 2009 coup, and the resistance movement of social movements in response to it.
  • It's about transnational feminism at the grassroots.
