{"product_id":"engendering-revolution-rachel-elfenbein-9781477319147","title":"Engendering Revolution: Women, Unpaid Labor, and Maternalism in Bolivarian Venezuela","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1999, Venezuela became the first country in the world to constitutionally recognize the socioeconomic value of housework and enshrine homemakers' social security. This landmark provision was part of a larger project to transform the state and expand social inclusion during Hugo Ch疱ez's presidency. The Bolivarian revolution opened new opportunities for poor and working-class--or popular--women's organizing. The state recognized their unpaid labor and maternal gender role as central to the revolution. Yet even as state recognition enabled some popular women to receive public assistance, it also made their unpaid labor and organizing vulnerable to state appropriation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffering the first comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon, \u003ci\u003eEngendering Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that the Bolivarian revolution cannot be understood without comprehending the gendered nature of its state-society relations. Showcasing field research that comprises archival analysis, observation, and extensive interviews, these thought-provoking findings underscore the ways in which popular women sustained a movement purported to exalt them, even while many could not access social security and remained socially, economically, and politically vulnerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Elfenbein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147731914X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477319147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Rachel Elfenbein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073004138751,"sku":"9781477319147","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_836467ad-6acd-45dc-8d47-9c192215cc73.jpg?v=1685445232","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/engendering-revolution-rachel-elfenbein-9781477319147","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
