Title: Guyana diaries
Description: "Kimberly D. Nettles narrates the life histories of members of the Red Thread Development Corporation, a group of women activists in the Caribbean. The author, an African American researcher, explores the impact of work, family, politics, and local culture on these women's lives and, in the process, discovers how differences in class and nation can overshadow the gender and race she shares with her subjects. Blending feminist ethnography, critical autobiography, and literary narratives, Nettles produces a work that sheds light on the self and the Other. It should be of interest to those in race and ethnic studies, gender studies, Caribbean studies, development studies, and qualitative inquiry."--Jacket.
