The book presents inside perspectives of women's and gender studies
programs from a great variety of countries. It analyses how
societal transitions influence the emergence and further
development of such programs and by doing this reflects the
contradictory changes of women's status and roles worldwide.
A world market in labour has been in the making since Christopher
Columbus first landed on the shores of Central America in 1492.
This unique book recounts the history of the extraordinary scale
and constantly changing character of this movement of workers from
one part of the globe to another over the past five centuries. The
author outlines this history from the Spaniards' initial
enslavement of the Indian populations of Central and South America,
and their replenishment by African slaves, to the present day,
including contemporary migration to the USA, Europe, Japan, and the
oil-rich countries of the Middle East. Throughout, the dual
exploitation of women forms an integral part of this study. The
author sets this history in the context of various competing
theories of capitalist expansion and its demand for labour, and
begins the construction of a comprehensive theory of the world
market for labour power.
