As globalization has shifted the market in tourism--‐dependent Botswana, women who are responsible for the production of baskets have entered a new and expanded market economy where locally made baskets carry Tswana symbols and meanings into international contexts and construct and contest the idea of sustainability and gender ideology. These objects and cultural artifacts are both an insight into Tswana culture as well as a new means through which women produce, tell and re--‐tell narratives of cultural and global, financial success and resistance.
