Examines the orientation of US & Canadian women's movements toward established parties & electoral politics, 1970-1993, drawing on a variety of empirical data. Although both movements have engaged in the political process, neither has developed a permanent, exclusive relationship with a political party. However, this does not support the contention that these movements are emblematic of other new social movements in moving away from the formal political process. The relationship of these movements to parties & electoral politics is contradictory, as manifested in the coexistence of multi- & apartisan strategies in the movements. Opportunity structures available to the movements largely determine the differences in how they resolve these contradictions. While the US movement has aligned itself with the Democratic Party, the Canadian movement has followed a multipartisan approach. 2 Tables, 2 Figures, 45 References. D. M. Smith

THIS ARTICLE EXPLAINS HOW THE FLOW OF CHEAP U.S. GRAIN INTO MEXICO WILL DRIVE MANY CORN PRODUCING EJIDATARIOS OUT OF BUSINESS. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF EJIDATARIOS WILL BE PUSHED OUT OF THE MEXICAN COUNTRYSIDE AND ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE INTO U.S. AGRICULTURE. IT ARGUES THAT BECAUSE NAFTA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE RIGHT OF WORKERS TO SEEK THE BEST PRICE FOR THEIR LABOR TRANSNATIONALLY, MOST IMMIGRANT FARM WORKERS WILL ENTER THE UNITED STATES ILLEGALLY. THE MEXICAN'S STATUS MAY WELL BE USED BY U.S. LANDOWNERS TO DRIVE DOWN WAGES AND ROLL BACK GAINS IN WORKING CONDITIONS AND UNIONIZATION IN THE FRAGILE U.S. AGRICIULTURAL ECONOMY.
