This book focuses on the migration strategies of Chinese women who
travel to Mexico City in search of opportunities and survival.
Specifically, it explores the experiences and contributions of
women who have placed themselves within the local and conflictive
networks of Mexico Citys downtown street markets (particularly in
Tepito), where they work as suppliers and petty vendors of
inexpensive products made in China (specifically in Yiwu). Street
markets are the vital nodes of Mexican "popular" economy (economia
popular), but the people that work and live among them have a long
history of marginalization in relation to formal economic networks
in Mexico City. Despite the difficult conditions of these spaces,
in the last three decades they have become a new source of economic
opportunities and labor market access for Chinese migrants,
particularly for women. Through their commerce, these migrants have
introduced new commodities and new trade dynamics into these
markets, which are thereby transformed into alternative spaces of
globalization.
