Women Organising in the Process of Deindustrialisation

Abstract

This article is about feminist research and women organizing in the process of deindustrialization in Latin America. The author draws on her own research on JIT technological innovations in the engineering industry in order to explain two androcentric sociological approaches: The impact approach and the labour process theory. The author explores aspects of Braverman's work to examine these theories as well as feminist criticisms to labour process approaches. The article concludes with the author's suggestion for further research on JIT application.
