Gina A. Ulysse
The Caribbean "market woman" is ingrained in the popular imagination as the archetype of black womanhood. Challenging this stereotype, this work offers a complex picture by documenting the history of independent international traders who travel abroad to import and export an array of consumer goods sold in the public markets of Kingston, Jamaica.
