Abstract
This article examines how the processes of globalisation serve to reinforce, disrupt, and reshape gender norms and relations in Chile. Chile has long since been subject to political corruption and societal disruption, but it was the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet and his neoliberal economic policies that reconfigured many aspects of life for Chilean farmers, both male and female. This article contextualises its core arguments in a case study of the fruit market in Chile’s commercial agriculture sector. This article argues that the processes of globalisation operate as a double-edged sword that can transform labour patterns and gender dynamics for better and worse.
