Continuing her earlier work on women free-trade-zone factory workers in Sri Lanka, Sandya Hewamanne here explores the ways in which these women negotiate their social and economic lives once back in their villages and highlights the complex effects of globalization and transnational production on communities in the Global South.

By analyzing how Sri Lankan free trade zone factory workers claim political subjectivity and revealing a vibrant subaltern political universe where they can express alternative perspectives, Stitching Identities in a Free Trade Zone challenges conventional notions about marginalized women at the bottom of the global economy.
