The image that remains deeply embedded in my consciousness is the dramatic change that characterized the streets of Dacca since I had left the country only eighteen months earlier. Perhaps most striking were the number of women who now walked along the road, often in groups of six or more, especially after a shift change at the recently opened garment factories that dotted the streets throughout the city. The image of women dressed in cotton saris leaving work in the early evening was in stark contrast to my earlier experience when I was one of only a few, if any, women walking quickly along these same roads. It also was a change from the time when I was the only woman in a government or commercial office, or in some of the smaller fresh produce or fish markets, unchaperoned by either an older or younger male companion. At first I could hardly make sense of this now strange and different place that had been my home for five years. Was I mistaken? Did I remember incorrectly? Did I get caught by the Western image of Bangladesh and Bangladeshi women dominated by purdah (female seclusion), only to confront the everyday lives of young women struggling to make a living? How was I to understand this apparently fantastic change in the course of a mere eighteen months? I have been challenged ever since to make sense of this dramatic reorganization of women's lives. Certain facts were self-evident: a growing number of garment factories were now part of the city, Dacca was an internationally recognized export-processing enclave, and thousands of women","PeriodicalId":51382,"journal":{"name":"Signs","volume":"26 4","pages":"1097-127"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/495649","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"26733152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since August of 1996, when it was announced that India was to host the Miss World Pageant, controversy and debate had surrounded the issue. Members of political parties and particular national and local women's organizations, farmers, students, and trade unions from various parts of the country demonstrated, wrote petitions, filed public interest litigations in court, and threatened to damage the venue of the pageant. Opposition to the pageant spanned a broad enough spectrum to accommodate an entire range of concerns. For instance, opposition to imperialism, resentment against the retreating role of the state, high inflation, threatened Indian culture, and an anxiety with the \"foreign\" all crystallized in response to the pageant. Conversely, for the state and domestic capital, the pageant provided an international opportunity to \"showcase\" new, liberalized India to the world. The pageant, therefore, was a site at which political protest and anxiety with \"globalization\" as well as the opportunity to showcase India to the world were articulated. It is in this tension between sentiments of proving national worth, on the one hand, and the protests against the pageant, on the other, that I examine the staging of discourses of gender, nation, sexuality, and place in this article. A month prior to the event, in the Times of India, a major Englishlanguage newspaper, an advertisement for the pageant read \"the time has come for the world to see ... what real India is all about, Indian hospitality, Indian culture, Indian beauty, Indian capability.\"' What is striking about the advertisement is the statement that \"real\" India-its capability","PeriodicalId":51382,"journal":{"name":"Signs","volume":"26 4","pages":"1067-95"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/495648","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"26810869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She and I have many interests in common. I have studied women's employment in Mexican maquiladoras, conducted research among Hispanic women in the garment and electronics industries, and investigated the lives of impoverished African Americans in west Baltimore. To understand the relationship between economic change and gender has been one of my top priorities for two decades. Along the way I discovered Diane's exceptional work. Her book, Factory Daughters: Gender, Household Dynamics, and Rural Industrialization inJava (1992), is an exemplary case study to which I often return in search of inspiration. Not surprisingly, I thought of her as a preferred interlocutor to discuss the relationships among globalization, feminism, and gender. Below is our exchange, which, true to the age of technological wonder, occurred in cyberspace. Patricia Ferndndez-Kelly: After more than two decades of feminist exhortations and a large supply of literature on the subject, few would deny the importance of gender as an aspect of international development. Gender is apparent everywhere, from the recruitment strategies of corporate managers to the differences in the educational performance of immigrant boys and girls, the unequal distribution of disease throughout the world, and the varying effects of \"structural adjustment policies\" in poor countries. Yet the concept has received scant attention in studies of globalization. Economists speak about neoliberalism and free markets as if those phenomena were gender neutral. On a lesser scale, sociologists do the same. That is partly because many studies of women and development are thinly veiled political tracts that owe more to feminist ideology than to disciplined research. They command small credibility. Diane Wolf: You overstate the injurious effects of feminist politics. A more important reason is gender.
