Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to discuss some findings about rural labor work framed in pluriactivity, given main changes produced by neoliberal globalization and rural crisis in Mexico. Specifically, It is discussed the complex negotiation processes (cooperation and conflict) because of the women's “wish” or decision to work out of home or in non-domestic activities. The women's work in denim workshops at Tepetitla de Lardizábal, Tlaxcala, Mexico is highlighted.
