«Beautiful Flowers of the Maquiladora» is the essay by Norma Iglesias Prieto, published by University of Texas Press in paperback (143 pages, in English).
The work draws on interviews with more than fifty women working in Tijuana's assembly plants. Their testimonies reveal the physical and psychological cost of maquiladora work and their daily struggle against labor exploitation. Prieto captures their voices and portrays them as young, dynamic people.
English translation of the work originally published in Spanish as «La flor más bella de la maquiladora», translated by Michael Stone and Gabrielle Winkler, with a foreword by Henry A. Selby.
Recommended for readers interested in gender studies, labor conditions, and the social history of the Mexico–United States border.
