Bananeras: Women Transforming the Banana Unions of Latin America by Dana Frank

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

 Bananeras was my pick for Honduras. It’s a non-fiction book looking at women banana workers in the union movement. This was a slim volume with some interesting information - the conditions the women faced at home and at work, the barriers they had to overcome within the labour movement, their goals and aspirations, as well as the gains and benefits achieved for both themselves and the wider labour movement. Aspects of this book were certainly inspirational but it did have a dry, academic tone meaning it won’t appeal to many readers.
