Description

“Honduras is violent.” Adrienne Pine situates this oft-repeated claim on the center of her vivid and nuanced chronicle of Honduran subjectivity. Through an examination of three major subject areas—violence, alcohol, and the export-processing (maquiladora) industry—Pine explores the day by day relationships and routines of urban Hondurans. She views their lives within the context of the vast economic footprint on and ideological domination of the region by the USA, powerfully elucidating the level of Honduras’s dependence. She provides a historically located ethnographic analysis of this fraught relationship and the effect it has had on Hondurans’ working out of who they’re. The result’s a wealthy and visceral portrait of a culture buffeted by the forces of globalization and inequality.
