On the basis of systematic research and personal experience, For We Are Sold, I and My People uncovers some of the social costs of modern production. Maria Patricia FernandezKelly peels off the labels'Made in Taiwan,' 'Assembled in Mexico'and the trade namesRCA, Sony, General Motors, United Technologies, General Electric, Mattel, Chrysler, American Hospital Supplyto reveal the hidden human dimensions of presentday multinational manufacturing procedures.Focusing on Cuidad Juarez, located at the United StatesMexican border, FernandezKelly examines the reality of maquiladoras, the hundreds of assembly plants that since the 1960s have been used by the Mexican government as part of its development strategy. Most maquiladoras function as subsidiaries of large U.S.based corporations and a majority of the employees are women. Drawing from current knowledge in political economy and anthropology, this study focuses on one common denominator of the international division of labora growing proletariat of Third World women exploited by what some experts are calling 'the global assembly line.'
