Reformulating The Compliant Image: Filipina Activists In The Global Factory
The paper questions a common assumption among Western policy analysts that vigorous economic development leads ultimately to political liberalization, largely through the creation of a middle class that begins to demand expanded civil freedoms. It argues for a consideration of the activist role of working-class and women's movements in struggles for plural representation. Drawing upon recent fieldwork in Metro Manila factories and the Bataan Export Processing Zone, the author presents the political biography of a young, working-class woman activist, as a means of exploring a theorization of political agency that does not assume that it is primarily the middle classes who act as a constituency for democratization.
