Sellers and Servants - Working Women in Lima, Peru (Paperback, New edition)

Sellers and Servants is a welcome addition to research on a neglected subject, that of poverty-stricken Peruvian women whose alternatives for subsistence are few and cruel: to be a servant or to peddle goods in the markets and streets of Lima. Contemporary Sociology A tour de force . . . Bunster and Chaney set out `to tap an inner world of feelings, values, and significance' among poor migrant women in Lima. . . . Using an innovative `talking pictures' interview technique, the authors delve into the lives of these `poorest of the poor' revealing simultaneously their suffering and their strength. Women's Review of Books Ximena Bunster directs her own research center on women in Santiago, Chile. Elsa Chaney teaches and works in the field of comparative politics, centered around women in development concerns in the Caribbean, South America, and Africa.
