Everyday, around the world, women who work in the third world
factories of global firms face the idea that they are disposable.
Melissa W. Wright explains how this notion proliferates, both
within and beyond factory walls, through the telling of a simple
story: the myth of the disposable third world woman. This myth
explains how young women workers around the world eventually turn
into living forms of waste. "Disposable Women and Other Myths of
Global Capitalism" follows this myth inside the global factories
and surrounding cities in northern Mexico and in southern China,
illustrating the crucial role the tale plays in maintaining not
just the constant flow of global capital, but the present regime of
transnational capitalism. The author also investigates how women
challenge the story and its meaning for workers in global firms.
These innovative responses illustrate how a politics for
confronting global capitalism must include the many creative ways
that working people resist its dehumanizing effects.
