Contents of book,
This review is from: Subsidizing Capitalism: Brickmakers on the U.S.-Mexican Border (Suny Series in the Anthropology of Work) (Hardcover)
The first sentence on the back cover should read: "In Mexico, self-employed brickmakers support capitalist enterprise by providing bricks to build hotels, factories, office buildings, and shopping malls at costs lower than those based on profit making principles." The publisher has promised to correct this error if the book goes into a second printing. There are also chapters on women's and children's work on the brickyards and on gender roles in "neo-patriarchal households," closely associated with petty commodity producers and the petite bourgeoisie, both of which can be found among the brickmakers. Academic chapters are interspersed with creative non-fiction and fictional accounts of people who work on the brickyards.
