'This time show us like we really are ' This mandate from Do-a
Clara, homemaker-market merchant in the community of TepoztlOn,
makes explicit the dimensions of this concertedly empirical,
multidisciplinary study of women's ways of using a neoliberal
development model that systematically disadvantages them to create
value and values. Members of one of the first New World populations
to have their labor globally feminized, into the twenty-first
century, Tepoztecas have continuously contrived to adjust
organizationally to production-reproduction systems that use gender
inequalities to be global. The many faceted work experiences and
broad academic interests of the anthropologist/author uniquely
equip her to demystify and give a history to women's work during
the period of 1990 to 2000, a time of great transformation for
Tepoztecas on the frontlines of massive economic, social, and
political challenges for stakeholders. The 'strange reciprocity'
disaggregated as worksite exchanges of valued things is women's
ways of turning to their advantage the very ideologies and
technologies that simultaneously make them central to Free Market
capitalism while constraining their access to resources that can be
exchanged at prices set by and for awesomely powerful interests_or
not. Nevertheless, Strange Reciprocity qualitatively and
quantitatively confirms that as Tepoztecas construct small
economies against the grain of what take over agendas seem to have
in mind for them, they are structurally adjusting the big economies
of the winners.
