Through the innovative framework of individual and collective memory, Daliany Jerónimo Kersh brings together analysis of press sources and oral histories to offer a compelling portrait of how Cuban women cleverly combined various forms of paid work to make ends meet. Disproportionately impacted by the economic crisis given their role as primary caregivers and household managers and unable to survive on devalued state salaries alone, women often employed informal and illegal earning strategies. As she argues, this regression into gendered work such as cooking, sewing, cleaning, reselling, and providing sexual services precipitated by the post-Soviet crisis to a large extent marked a return to pre-revolutionary gendered divisions of labor. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | Women in Cuba; Caribbean and Cuban studies; The Special Period; Women‘s Employment; Cuban economy; The Cu | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-05630-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-05630-8 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
