The Mexican Urban Household: Organizing for Self-defenseUniversity of Texas Press, 1990 - 238 páginas Based on surveys of some 10,000 households, this study reveals how Mexican families band together and use their every resource to defend themselves against a political and economic system that overwhelms and exploits them. The study traces the high cost to families, particularly to women, of the endless struggle to make ends meet. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
