Gender and Modernization: Two Women's Struggle for Justice and Survival in the Face of Global Dependency Structures. Perhaps the most fascinating feature of both the novel, Nectar in a Sieve, and the oral history, Don't be Afraid Gringo, is how very similar the two stories are; although they are separated by decades in time, and thousands of miles in space. To a large degree, this may be attributed to the fact that both works concern cultures experiencing a similar crisis: the social impact of core-periphery economic exploitation upon traditional family existence in 1950s India and 1980s Honduras. This paper will argue that both text's representation of their economic situations - of mercantilist core/staple producing periphery exploitation, semiproletariate relations with the comprador elite, family/church socialization and factory/military oppression - are depicted through the lens of female-male relations and family life in traditional cultures. 5.5 pgs. 12 f/c. 2b.
