Through the innovative framework of individual and collective memory, Daliany Jerónimo Kersh brings together analysis of press sources and oral histories to offer a compelling portrait of how Cuban women cleverly combined various forms of paid work to make ends meet. Disproportionately impacted by the economic crisis given their role as primary caregivers and household managers and unable to survive on devalued state salaries alone, women often employed informal and illegal earning strategies. As she argues, this regression into gendered work such as cooking, sewing, cleaning, reselling, and providing sexual services precipitated by the post-Soviet crisis to a large extent marked a return to pre-revolutionary gendered divisions of labor. 001359896 650_0 $$aOral history. 001359896 650_0 $$aWomen. 001359896 650_0 $$aLabor. 001359896 650_0 $$aSocial history. 001359896 651_0 $$aLatin America$$xHistory. 001359896 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001359896 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aJerónimo Kersh, Daliany.$$tWomens Work in Special Period Cuba.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing, 2019 : Imprint Palgrave Macmillan$$z3030056295$$z9783030056292$$w(OCoLC)1067247913 001359896 852__ $$bebk 001359896 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-05630-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001359896 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1359896$$pGLOBAL_SET 001359896 980__ $$aBIB 001359896 980__ $$aEBOOK 001359896 982__ $$aEbook 001359896 983__ $$aOnline 001359896 994__ $$a92$$bISE
