 <p>This story presents what's literally a different way of thinking. It
  makes the familiar (perception of beauty) seem strange, and makes
  what we normally consider necessary seem contingent.  It doesn't
  deal directly with gender, but rather works by implication: it
  raises questions about how many of our ideas about gender are tied
  in to contingent habits of thought.</p>

  <p>This coolly told story is in large part about the way women (and
  men) are treated in the maquiladoras of Juarez.  It explores several
  kinds of power relationships: dispossession, complicity in
  institutional oppression, the blindness of well-meaning individual
  help, the self-image of masculinity as a mark of colonial identity.</p>
