AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this book Zavella, drawing on revisionist social theories relating to Chicano family structure as well as on feminist theory, paints a picture of Chicano women who work in northern California's fruit and vegetable canneries. The material which appears here combines social history, shop floor ethnography, and in-depth interview techniques to explore the linkage between Chicano family life and gender inequality in the labor market (cover).
