Juki girls, good girls gender and cultural politics in Sri Langka's global garment industry

---

The book “Juki Girls, Good Girls: Gender and Cultural Politics in Sri Lanka's Global Garment Industry” examines the lives of women working in Sri Lanka’s garment factories, where global economic forces intersect with local gender norms and cultural politics. It explores how young female workers, often referred to as “Juki girls,” navigate expectations of morality, respectability, and modernity while participating in one of the country’s largest export industries. Through ethnographic insights, the book highlights the tensions between empowerment and exploitation, tradition and globalization, as well as the ways in which gendered identities are constructed and contested within the context of global capitalism.
