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 LabourKeywords: 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."

War and Nuclear IssuesAbstract: "what can I do to help?" A perennial concern to many, this question became the mantra repeated coast to coast in the wake of 9/11; and while it rang loud, it most often went unanswered. Grassroots is Manifesta co-authors Amy Richards and Jennifer Baumgardner's reply. Passionate activists who've traveled the globe from Green Bay to Havana in their efforts to raise awareness, Jennifer and Amy know that whether you are concerned about the environment, human rights violations in Tiber, the WTO, sweatshop labor, or the ongoing repercussions of the war in Iraq, we all possess tools to make a difference. Based on the authors' own experiences and those of the large number of everyday activists with whom they work on a regular basis, Grassroots shows how to move beyond passive activism such as a monetary donations and writing congresspeople to make a far reaching impact from a personal vantage point. Drawing heavily on individual stories as examples, Grassroots brims with clear guidelines and models for activism that illustrate how to set realistic goals and follow up by identifying and focusing on the resources most readily available to you - be it the office copier or the family living room.
Whether you are a student or a stay-at-home mom, an artist or a corporate professional, Grassroots illustrates how anyone, no matter how much or little they believe they have to offer, can become involved, and shows that even small efforts have the potential to produce a sea change in our lives.Grassroots: A feild guide for feminist activism [printed text] / Jennifer Baumgardner, Author ; Amy Richards, Author . - [S.l.] : Farrar, Giroux and Strauss, [s.d.].
