Disposable Domestics / Grace Chang

Public ISBD Title : Disposable Domestics Original title : Immigrant Women Workers in the Global Economy Material Type: printed text Authors: Grace Chang, Author ; Mimi Abramovitz, Author of afterword, postface, colophon, etc. Publisher: Boston [USA] : South End Press Publication Date: 2000 ISBN (or other code): RepCha2000 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Immigrant Labour Reproductive Labour Keywords: Reproductive Labour, Immigrant Labour, Migrant Justice Abstract: "Illegal. Unamerican. Disposable. In a nation with an unprecedented history of immigration, the prevailing image of those who cross our borders in search of equal opportunity—in particular women of color of childbearing age—is that of a drain on society. Grace Chang's vital account of immigrant women's experiences proves just the opposite: that the women who perform our least desirable jobs—as nannies, domestic workers, janitors, nursing aides, and homecare workers—are the most crucial to our economy and society. Yet, Chang also shows, as frequently undocumented and therefore disenfranchised, they are among the most vulnerable and exploited."
