With this intention, transnational corporations start to take advantage of Asian economic growth by delegating parts of their businesses. Seeing that these corporations started to delegate businesses, they then turned their attention to transcend the traditional focus on the nation-state and national economy. To put it differently, the extension of U.S. corporate power near the western region is mirrored in the American economic expansion. Under these circumstances, it also finds a way into Mexico by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In Karen Yamashita’s Tropic of Orange, the protagonist (Rafaela) for example, has to experience the physical aftermath of globalization on an individual level. For one thing, after migrating to a new country she worked with her husband in his small company. As a result of visiting courses on politics and engaging in community action programs, she leaves her husband. The most compelling evidence, however, comes when the protagonist asserts that she couldn’t see “people like him doing all the work” (Yamashita 78). By the same token, the protagonist hides in Mazatlán Mexico, in a house that Gabriel, a former employer owns. For this reason, after returning from the U.S., she finds herself increased in status, and she’s able to eventually hire her own servant. This is when she realizes that “someone was always at the bottom” of the pyramid
