“ High Tech and High Heels is a treasure trove. Freeman is among a handful of truly original thinkers in the field of social anthropology and she has produced in this book a major contribution to our understanding of the fluid relationship between gender, social class, and culture.�-Patricia Fernandez-Kelly, Princeton University, "Freeman helps us understand how new forms of labor power are being tapped in old places. This is a penetrating demonstration of the genuine relevance of anthropology to the modern world. It also shows us in what ways change and persistence are subtly interwoven, in a world that is not quite so new as others tell us."-Sidney Mintz, Johns Hopkins University, "High Tech and High Heels is a treasure trove. Freeman is among a handful of truly original thinkers in the field of social anthropology and she has produced in this book a major contribution to our understanding of the fluid relationship between gender, social class, and culture." Patricia Fernandez-Kelly, Princeton University, "What Freeman's innovative investigation of Barbadian women data-entry workers reveals is that cultural processes-globalization, identity(ies), constructions, consumerism-are informed in no small part by the ways in which paid labor is structured-and restructured. She alerts us to phenomena that should shake us out of our all-too-comfortable dichotomizing habits."-Cynthia Enloe, Clark University, "What Freeman's innovative investigation of Barbadian women data-entry workers reveals is that cultural processes--globalization, identity(ies), constructions, consumerism--are informed in no small part by the ways in which paid labor is structured--and restructured.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
