I just came across Sistren Theater Collective while researching for my current project. I am reading the book "Bananas, Beaches, and Bases, Making Feminist Sense of International Politics." There is a fascinating chapter on the Banana industry. The author focuses on how these plantations perpetuate system of patriarchy and race discrimination.
Here is a little bit on Sistren:
Sistren Theatre Collective (Sistren) began in 1977 as an Independent Cultural organization of working class women who employed popular theatre techniques in their exploration and analysis of the social, political and legal condition and status of Jamaican women. Focussing particularly on poor black women, Sistren uses personal testimonies as a critique of a system, which discriminated against women on the basis of gender, class and colour.
