Czarina Saloma-Akpedonu chronicles the lives and experiences of Filipino women navigating the IT sector, illuminating how they construct agency, knowledge, and belonging within systems that are simultaneously empowering and constraining.\n\nDrawing on rich sociological fieldwork and feminist theory, Saloma-Akpedonu argues that the impossible spaces of the digital economy are, paradoxically, fertile ground for reimagining gendered possibilities in Southeast Asia. Her analysis is both rigorous and evocative, weaving together macro-level forces of global capitalism with the intimate, everyday negotiations of identity and power. A vital contribution to postcolonial and gender studies, this work leaves the reader questioning what it truly means to belong — and to thrive — in a world being remade by invisible networks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203121914075,"sku":"9789715504973-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1b37076c-9334-4022-a7fb-02d66754e254.png?v=1788144581","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9789715504973-secondhand-possible-worlds-in-impossible-spaces-knowledge-globality-gender-and-information-technology-in-the-philippines","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
