Book Description
"By following the lives of these women, Elder identifies spatialized forms of marginalization, impoverishment, infection, and disempowerment. He argues that the gendered geography of the migrant labor system developed in South Africa was premised upon sexual assumptions about men, women, and their bodies. Feminist and queer analyses of space, as well as the women's own survival strategies, may provide signposts to the way out of apartheid's malevolent geography."--BOOK JACKET.
