Insights into Industrialisation in java,
By Bron (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Factory Daughters: Gender, Household Dynamics, and Rural Industrialization in Java (Hardcover)
Diane Wolf tackles a complex area with style. Her objective presentation of the impacts on women (and their families) of the increasingly industrialised Java provides the reader with a wealth of information without overuse of terminology from either the developmental or feminist schools. Her consistent concentration on Java, recognising the diversity of Indonesia and the danger of generalising the numeorus ethnic groups, gives strength to her research, as does an overview of the methodology which illustrates the time Diane committed to the region in completing her study. The use of 'real people', and their stories, brought a personal touch to the book, allowing the reader to appreciate the reasoning behind many of the decisions and actions of the women involved. An interesting and informative book that I was able to read from cover to cover, but also able to refer to sparodically for specific information. |
