The paper aims to explore the gap between organisational discourses of gender on the one hand, and the construction of individual identities on the other. It uses narrative analysis of interviews with five nurses working in two hospitals in the NHS
to trace the place and articulations of organisation, profession and gender in the construction and presentation of self. This emphasis on agency, resistance and personal politics has important implications for thinking about the nature and form
Gender and class identities in process and in place: the local state as a site of gender and class formation
Canada ; Community ; Conflict ; Gender difference ; Local administration ; Local policy ; Ontario ; Social class ; Social practice ; Societal relations ; Society
The A. argues that gender and class formation within local states involves processes of conflict, accomodation, co-optation, and transformation. Variations in material conditions of struggle contribute to fragmented or contradictory experiences
of gender and class relations in and against local states. Two Canadian examples are used. The first is that of recent feminist and working-class struggles within Ontario's legal-aid clinic system. The second is that of the development of a women-only

Latin America's turn away from neoliberalism and adoption of decolonising alternatives to devel-opment has been spearheaded—nowhere more so than Bolivia—by indigenous movements. The gender ideology of chachawarmi is part of this decolonisation
programme, but has been criticised for disguising gendered exploitation. These tensions are explored by looking at, in Escobar's words, ‘the concrete struggles within particular communities’. Based on long-term research in rural Bolivia (inter-Andean valley
of Luribay),this article situates the chachawarmi ideal in the multiple influences on the recreation of gender identities, and considers the complex ways in which chachawarmi as mobilised politically may influence gendered power.
