• Sommario/riassunto: 'Money Makes Us Relatives' asks why Turkish society devalues women's work, concealing its existence while creating a vast pool of cheap labour for the world market. Jenny White shows how women's paid work is regarded in terms of kinship obligation & thus an extension of domestic work for the family.
