Abstract

Globalization is not a new phenomenon; women throughout the world have been dealing with the circumstances and consequences of an international economy long before the advent of the transnational corporate conglomerate. However, in a mercenary example of the tried clich "the more things change, the more they stay the same," women-particularly those of color-continue to be relegated to the lowest rung of the occupational ladder, where their indispensable contributions to global market capitalism are downplayed or invalidated completely through the perpetuation of stereotypes and the denial of access to better job opportunities and resources. How women of color around the world adapt and challenge the economic, political, and social effects of globalization is the subject of this broad-minded and incisive anthology. From Mexico, Jamaica, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Sri Lanka, to immigrant and non-immigrant communities in the United States-the women documented in these essays are agricultural and factory workers, artists and entrepreneurs, mothers and activists. Their stories bear stark witness to how globalization continues to develop new sites and forms of exploitation, while its apparent victims continue to be women, men, and children of color.

Abstract

Women make up about half of the world's migrants, so it is little surprise that the international migration of women has been attracting significant attention in recent years. Most agree that global restructuring increasingly forces a large number of women in developing countries to emigrate to richer countries. But is poverty the only motivating factor? In Women in Motion, Nana Oishi examines the cross-national patterns of international female migration in Asia. Drawing on fieldwork in ten countries—both migrant-sending and migrant-receiving—the author investigates the differential impact of globalization, state policies, individual autonomy, and various social factors. This is the first study of its kind to provide an integrative approach to and a comparative perspective on female migration flows from multiple countries.

Abstract

Servants of Globalization offers a groundbreaking study of migrant Filipino domestic workers who leave their own families behind to do the caretaking work of the global economy. Since its initial publication, the book has informed countless students and scholars and set the research agenda on labor migration and transnational families. With this second edition, Rhacel Salazar Parreñas returns to Rome and Los Angeles to consider how the migrant communities have changed. Children have now joined their parents. Male domestic workers are present in significantly greater numbers. And, perhaps most troubling, the population has aged, presenting new challenges for the increasingly elderly domestic workers. New chapters discuss these three increasingly important constituencies. The entire book has been revised and updated, and a new introduction offers a global, comparative overview of the citizenship status of migrant domestic workers. Servants of Globalization remains the defining work on the international division of reproductive labor.

Abstract

Meryam Kaçar is een bewonderingswaardige dame, Belgische van Turkse afkomst, opgeklommen "van snit en naad naar de senaat", zoals VRT-journalist Siegfried Bracke het formuleerde. Een ideale dame voor de media. Op verzoek van uitgeverij Houtekiet schreef Kaçar een boek, of liever, liet ze er één schrijven door Karel Michiels, omdat haar opleiding als juriste haar, in haar oordeel, niet direct een vlotte taal had bezorgd. Wellicht is Michiels erg bedreven in het schrijven van politieke manifesten. Dit boek, dat de schrijfster 'semi-autobiografisch' noemt, leest als een verkiezingsmanifest van Agalev. Het is wel doorspekt met Kaçars herinneringen aan haar kind- en jeugdjaren, deels in België deels in Turkije, maar het geheel blijft een manifest, zij het nogal warrig van structuur en houterig van taal. Het boek besluit met een gesprek tussen de auteur en Siegfried Bracke, dat vrij oppervlakkig blijft. Misschien had Kaçar beter een echt autobiografisch boek geschreven om de lezers te boeien, te ontroeren en te overtuigen. Want de wereld overtuigen van migrantenstemrecht, mensenrechten, kinderrechten, asielrecht (en slechts marginaal vrouwenrechten), economische zelfstandigheid, dat is het hoofddoel van haar boek.
