Synopsis

This comparative study examines the processes of development and the configurations of export industries in northern Morocco and on the northern border of Mexico.

Focusing on transnational firms and the working conditions, settlement processes, and migratory flows they engender, this volume considers if a convergence toward a global culture is inevitable in places of production, or if local resistance emerges in response to the impact of the global.
