The Maquiladora Reader

Cross Border Organizing Since Nafta

EDITED BY RACHAEL KAMEL AND ANYA HOFFMAN

Brief Description:
A maquiladora or maquila is a factory that imports materials and equipment on a duty-free and tariff-free basis for assembly or manufacturing and then re-exports the assembled product, usually back to the originating country. Through more than two dozen readings from a variety of sources, this work reveals the determination and creativity of Maquiladora workers as they seek to improve their wages and working conditions, protect their communities from health and environmental hazards, and build cross-border relationships with unions, religious groups, community organizers, and others.
