520 3  Told through the compelling lives of five courageous 
       Haitian women workers, Poto Mitan gives the global economy
       a human face. Each woman's personal story explains 
       neoliberal globalization, how it is gendered, and how it 
       impacts Haiti. And while Poto Mitan offers in-depth 
       understanding of Haiti, its focus on women's subjugation, 
       worker exploitation, poverty, and resistance makes it 
       clear that these are global struggles. Marie-Jeanne 
       details her dual struggles as a woman and worker: employed
       in a garment factory, she toils under miserable conditions
       to give her children the schooling she was denied because 
       of education's high costs and gender discrimination. 
       Living and braving death in Cité Soleil, Solange spells 
       out how Haiti's current violence stems from a long-brewing
       economic crisis and the global apparel industry's inherent
       instability. Frustrated with male-dominated unions, 
       Frisline joined a woman's organization. She offers a 
       gendered and class analysis of Haiti's contemporary 
       situation. Working for thirty years, Thérèse brings a 
       perspective that is historical and comparative. Her 
       ailments also highlight the critical state of public 
       health. Pushed off her land by foreign agricultural 
       policies, Hélène leads a new grassroots campaign against 
       violence, encouraging women to defend themselves. These 
       five brave women demonstrate that despite monumental 
       obstacles in a poor country like Haiti, collective action 
       makes change possible. Initiated by the women themselves, 
       Poto Mitan aims to inspire solidarity activism to end 
       injustice in the global economy. Our struggles have a 
       common thread. Fighting for justice: for women, workers, 
       or Haiti can't help but bring about our own liberation.
