"Unequal Under Socialism examines the intersection of local and global racial and gender ideas in Bulgaria from the 1930s to the present. Using a transnational feminist perspective, the manuscript critiques the impact of socialist state policies and Eurocentric Marxist and Leninist ideologies on Roma, Muslim, and other denigrated categories of women in contrast to those whom the state marked for prosperity and praise. This analysis is significant not just for current initiatives aimed at Roma inclusion, anti-racism and gender equality in the former socialist, now EU member states in the Balkan but also for a broader debate about the relationship between socialism and feminism championed by current scholars like Kristen Ghodsee (Why Women have Better Sex Under Socialism, Second World, Second Sex). While it draws on extensive archival research, the author is an interdisciplinary feminist scholar and her aim is to contribute not just to Balkan studies but to the discussion in feminist theory about the relationship between Marxism and racial and gender equality. The book should be read by scholars studying race and ethnicity, globalization, women's history, and transnational feminisms, as well as those working on socialism, post-socialism, and history of eastern and south-eastern Europe. It should appeal to many of the readers of UTP's other titles on social justice, inequality, and critical theory. While it includes some theoretical ideas first developed in her dissertation (which was on Bulgarian immigrants to the US) the content is otherwise entirely new."--

In a remarkable pairing, two renowned social critics offer a groundbreaking anthology that examines the unexplored consequences of globalization on the lives of women worldwide. Women are moving around the globe as never before. But for every female executive racking up frequent flier miles, there are multitudes of women whose journeys go unnoticed. Each year, millions leave Mexico, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and other third world countries to work in the homes, nurseries, and brothels of the first world. This broad-scale transfer of labor associated with women's traditional roles results in an odd displacement. In the new global calculus, the female energy that flows to wealthy countries is subtracted from poor ones, often to the detriment of the families left behind. The migrant nanny--or cleaning woman, nursing care attendant, maid--eases a "care deficit" in rich countries, while her absence creates a "care deficit" back home. Confronting a range of topics, from the fate of Vietnamese mail-order brides to the importation of Mexican nannies in Los Angeles and the selling of Thai girls to Japanese brothels, "Global woman offers an unprecedented look at a world shaped by mass migration and economic exchange on an ever-increasing scale. In fifteen vivid essays--of which only four have been previously published--by a diverse and distinguished group of writers, collected and introduced by best selling authors Barbara Ehrenreich and Arlie Russell Hochschild, this anthology reveals a new era in which the main resource extracted from the third world is no longer gold or silver, but love.
