Dolhinow (women's studies, California State ) explores women's activism in communities of Mexican immigrant farm workers in New Mexico, in the context of a US government committed to neoliberal policies that keeps trying to turn over the land and people to some profit-making entity or another. She considers the production of colonias as neoliberal spaces and production of women as neoliberal leaders, empowerment and politicization in the colonias, and the place of non-government organizations in daily life.
