- The book is based on more than a year of ethnographic fieldwork with garment workers in Trinidad, West Indies, during the decimation and disappearance of the garment industry under the competitive pressures of global trade liberalisation. It traces the working lives of women who made a living in the industry and how they cope with the hardship of economic transformation.
The book is the winner of the 2015 Book Award from the Society for the Anthropology of Work (SAW), a section of the American Anthropological Association.
