Although constantly and openly being negotiated, "Honduranness" is an elusive category. What might be understood as national identity emerges mostly in the negative: "We're not as advanced as the U.S.," "We don't have any money," "We haven't yet learned how to control our violence," or simply "We are behind."

520 $a Although constantly and openly being negotiated, "Honduranness" is an elusive category. What might be understood as national identity emerges mostly in the negative: "We're not as advanced as the U.S.," "We don't have any money," "We haven't yet learned how to control our violence," or simply "We are behind."
520 $a Subjectivities are mediated through processes of ideology, consumption, and production. In this dissertation I examine these three processes by focusing on three intertwined aspects of Honduran society---violence, alcohol, and the maquiladora industry---in order to shed light on what it means to be Honduran.
520 $a The first theme, violence, provides the basic theoretical framework for understanding how people live and understand their daily lives. Part One: Violence details the ways in which structural and everyday violence become embodied and reproduced as Honduran subjectivities. In this chapter I argue that the Honduran obsession with violence is a necessary condition for the acceptance of the particular version of modernity being promoted by those in power.
520 $a Part Two: Alcohol addresses the many ways Hondurans identify themselves in relation to this substance. Interactions defined principally by alcohol, like those that occur in AA meetings and in bars, are critical sites for studying the formation and reproduction of gender, class, and power relations and therefore subjectivity.
520 $a Honduran maquiladoras, which produce textiles for the U.S. market, have been widely criticized for a plethora of human rights and labor abuses. Nonetheless, maquiladoras are presented by the Honduran media and State as being the best employment option for young laborers, many of whom agree. In Part Three: Maquiladoras I explore how recent changes in the structure of work shape people's lives, destinies, and gendered, embodied understandings of who they are.
520 $a Structural violence plays a central role in constraining Hondurans' choices and possibilities as they develop their subjectivities. Nonetheless, Hondurans negotiate their identities in creative and positive ways. The three focal points of violence, alcohol, and the maquiladora industry, at once global and uniquely Honduran, combine to give a picture of how Hondurans construct a sense of who they are in Honduras and in the world.
