Women and Tourist Work in Jamaica

Seven Miles of Sandy Beach

By: Augusta Lynn Bolles

In Women and Tourist Work in Jamaica: Seven Miles of Sandy Beach, A. Lynne Bolles examines Jamaican women tourist workers and their workplaces in Negril, Jamaica. A major component of Negril’s tourism success is the labor of women tourist workers, ranging from housekeepers to hotel and business owners. Bolles’s ethnographic research examines key aspects of women’s labor in the tourist industry through the lenses of class, color, education, and training. Through the narratives of thirty interlocutors, Bolles focuses on the prescience of emotional labor and face-to-face encounters, investigating these women’s ideas about tourism on the local level and their wariness of the changing physical environment as a result of tourism expansion. For more information, check out A Conversation with A. Lynn Bolles: Women and Tourist Work in Jamaica.

Transatlantic Feminisms

Women and Gender Studies in Africa and the Diaspora

By: Cheryl R. Rodriguez,Dzodzi Tsikata,Akosua Adomako Ampofo

Transatlantic Feminisms is an interdisciplinary collection of original feminist research on women’s lives in Africa and the African diaspora. Demonstrating the power and value of transcontinental connections and exchanges between feminist thinkers, this unique collection of fifteen essays addresses the need for global perspectives on gender, ethnicity, race and class. Examining diverse topics and questions in contemporary feminist research, the authors describe and analyze women’s lives in a host of vibrant, compelling locations. There are essays exploring women’s political activism in Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Santo Domingo, Jamaica and Tanzania. Other essays explore representation and creativity in Brazil, Nigeria, and Miami. While one essay examines African women as conflicted immigrants in France, another recounts the experiences of Haitian women trying to survive in the Dominican Republic. Core themes of the book include the evolution of black feminism; black feminist political leadership; the politics of identity and representation; and struggles for agency and survival. These themes are interwoven throughout the volume and illuminate different geographic and cultural experiences, yet very similar oppressive forces and forms of resistance.

We Paid Our Dues

Women Trade Union Leaders of the Caribbean

By: Augusta Lynn Bolles

They now speak with their own voices...as leaders in the trade union movement that has underpinned Caribbean political, economic, and social development ever since...Caribbean society realized that the mobilization of the creative energies of its women, as well as its men, was the only sure route to social justice, human dignity, and the sustainable decencies of civil society. It is the creative, constructive participation of Caribbean women in this awesome quest for such a society that, after all, constitutes the "dues" they have paid, and Dr. Bolles's expert chronicling of this fact is a most timely and welcome addition to the literature in this area of growing concern."--BOOK JACKET.
