Reviews
“ High Tech and High Heels is a treasure trove. Freeman is among a handful of truly original thinkers in the field of social anthropology and she has produced in this book a major contribution to our understanding of the fluid relationship between gender, social class, and culture.�-Patricia Fernandez-Kelly, Princeton University, "Freeman helps us understand how new forms of labor power are being tapped in old places. This is a penetrating demonstration of the genuine relevance of anthropology to the modern world. It also shows us in what ways change and persistence are subtly interwoven, in a world that is not quite so new as others tell us."-Sidney Mintz, Johns Hopkins University, "High Tech and High Heels is a treasure trove. Freeman is among a handful of truly original thinkers in the field of social anthropology and she has produced in this book a major contribution to our understanding of the fluid relationship between gender, social class, and culture." Patricia Fernandez-Kelly, Princeton University, "What Freeman's innovative investigation of Barbadian women data-entry workers reveals is that cultural processes-globalization, identity(ies), constructions, consumerism-are informed in no small part by the ways in which paid labor is structured-and restructured. She alerts us to phenomena that should shake us out of our all-too-comfortable dichotomizing habits."-Cynthia Enloe, Clark University, "What Freeman's innovative investigation of Barbadian women data-entry workers reveals is that cultural processes--globalization, identity(ies), constructions, consumerism--are informed in no small part by the ways in which paid labor is structured--and restructured.
