Grounded in ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the adjacent towns of Boca Chica and Andrés, Gregory's study deftly demonstrates how transnational flows of capital, culture, and people are mediated by contextually specific power relations, politics, and history. He explores such topics as the informal economy, the making of a telenova, sex tourism, and racism and discrimination against Haitians, who occupy the lowest rung on the Dominican economic ladder. Innovative, beautifully written, and now updated with a new preface, The Devil behind the Mirror masterfully situates the analysis of global economic change in everyday lives.GlobalizationDominican RepublicGlobalizationPolitical aspectsDominican RepublicTourismDominican RepublicDominican RepublicForeign economic relationsDominican RepublicEconomic conditions1961-Dominican RepublicSocial conditions1961-Electronic books.GlobalizationGlobalizationPolitical aspectsTourism330.97293Gregory Steven1954-1033607MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464058303321The devil behind the mirror2472384UNINA
