- Title
FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION, HOUSEHOLDS, AND FIELDWORK: MULTISITED ZAPOTEC WEAVERS IN THE ERA OF LATE CAPITALISM.
- Authors
Warner, W.
- Abstract
Like other crafters catering to tourists and international ethnic art markets, Zapotec weavers have become more closely tied to international capital and to increasingly flexible and dispersed schemes of production. Some Zapotec families have responded to such flexibility and now maintain several households in the Southwestern United States, U.S./Mexico border towns, and Oaxaca. The study of household petty commodity production thus requires a multisited field methodology for what are today dispersed Zapotec households enmeshed in the transnational production of Zapotec textiles.
