Items related to Asian Women as Transnational Domestic Workers
Seventeen international academics contribute 14 papers comparing of the contexts in which Asian transnational domestic workers live and work across a range of countries; all of the chapters are derived from papers originally presented at an international conference held in Singapore in February 2004. The text aims to illuminate the complex factors, patterns and processes that underscore the persistent flow of Asian women throughout the world. The essays are organized into three sections: the major labor sending countries of the Philippines, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India; the key receiving nations of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Canada; and three case studies focusing on Korea, Japan, and Australia as societies which do not yet have transnational domestic workers. For activists, policy makers, and scholars. Distributed in the U.S. by ISBS. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
