NAFTA FROM BELOW
Dear CJM members,
CJM is pleased to announce the release of the book NAFTA FROM BELOW: Maquiladora Workers, Campesinos, and Indigenous Communities Speak Out on the Impact of Free Trade in Mexico, a powerful disclosure of NAFTA's impact on those most affected by it - Mexican workers and farmers - and their organized resistance in fighting for a better world with dignity and justice. As you can see from the Table of Contents below, the heart of the book is testimonies from maquiladora workers most of them women in the north and center of the country as well as indigenous communities and farmers in the south. Their words document in detail what free trade has meant for the people of Mexico. There is no other book that offers this history from their perspective.
Order your copies today and spread the word to your friends and colleagues by distributing the flyer. NAFTA FROM BELOW would be an unforgettable gift.
About the Book
In testimonies from scores of maquiladora workers, campesinos, and indigenous communities from across Mexico, NAFTA FROM BELOW details the impact of free trade on those it has most severely affected. First-hand accounts of workers organizing for their rights, of farmers and indigenous peoples fighting to preserve their land, and of efforts north and south to build alternatives document the courage of ordinary people who dare to join together and stand up for decent work conditions, just salaries, a clean environment, and lives with dignity.
Available in English [NOW] and Spanish [June 2009] $25.00 + $5.00 SH
