I entered the high, barbed-fenced area under a flat-arched sign reading: “ZONA FRANCA.” The neatly laid-out streets and cheap, warehouse buildings reminded me of internment camps from the Second World War. Peering past the shotgun-toting guard into the high shell of a building, I saw row upon row of women, sitting at identical tables with identical postures, surrounded by identical piles of cloth stacked beside identical sewing machines. I had entered the brave new world of the Export Processing Zone in San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic.
