Abstract

Le nouvel ordre économique néolibéral modifie la division internationale du travail, ce qui entraîne un accroissement des populations migrantes de travailleurs et de travailleuses. Actuellement, une personne sur dix dans les régions développées est migrante, et les femmes représentent la moitié de ce nombre. Longtemps, pourtant, la figure du migrant a été représentée comme masculine, en raison des représentations stéréotypées ou erronées du rôle et de la place des femmes et des hommes dans les sociétés, et les recherches ou programmes relatifs aux migrants ont ignoré la composante féminine des migrations. Or, les femmes migrent bien, elles aussi. Une grande partie des femmes migrantes – même qualifiées – travaillent dans le secteur des soins ou des emplois domestiques. Le transfert international des soins et de l’attention aux autres (care) – sorte de nouvelle matière première extraite des pays du Sud pour être consommée dans les pays riches – est un nouvel échange inégal. Les espaces où se réalise le travail des migrantes restent souvent invisibles, lieus de peu de droits. Si les discriminations et les abus sont à dénoncer, l’image de victime accolée aux migrantes et cependant loin de convenir. La trajectoire migratoire demande pugnacité et courage. Et nous pouvons nous demander s’il ne s’agit pas du départ des personnes les plus combatives de la société… Les identités se transforment dans l’expérience de la migration : comme le dit l’une d’elles, « je ne suis plus celle que j’ai laissée derrière moi ». Des réseaux transnationaux se construisent, accompagnés d’une circulation d’idées, de nouvelles représentations, de projets, de flux financiers. En 2002, les revenus du travail des migrants atteignaient 73 milliards de dollars, un montant plus élevé que celui de l’aide internationale au développement. Un nouvel ordre colonial s’instaure avec la nouvelle division internationale du travail. Mais les migrations des femmes et des hommes à travers les pratiques sociales…

Abstract

In a remarkable pairing, two renowned social critics offer a groundbreaking anthology that examines the unexplored consequences of globalization on the lives of women worldwide. Women are moving around the globe as never before. But for every female executive racking up frequent flier miles, there are multitudes of women whose journeys go unnoticed. Each year, millions leave Mexico, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and other third world countries to work in the homes, nurseries, and brothels of the first world. This broad-scale transfer of labor associated with women's traditional roles results in an odd displacement. In the new global calculus, the female energy that flows to wealthy countries is subtracted from poor ones, often to the detriment of the families left behind. The migrant nanny--or cleaning woman, nursing care attendant, maid--eases a "care deficit" in rich countries, while her absence creates a "care deficit" back home. Confronting a range of topics, from the fate of Vietnamese mail-order brides to the importation of Mexican nannies in Los Angeles and the selling of Thai girls to Japanese brothels, "Global woman offers an unprecedented look at a world shaped by mass migration and economic exchange on an ever-increasing scale. In fifteen vivid essays--of which only four have been previously published--by a diverse and distinguished group of writers, collected and introduced by best selling authors Barbara Ehrenreich and Arlie Russell Hochschild, this anthology reveals a new era in which the main resource extracted from the third world is no longer gold or silver, but love.

Abstract

Migration has long been associated with the social sciences. However, as a phenomenon that provides windows into possibly new forms of oppression and, at the same time, paths toward human liberation a systematic theological look at contemporary migration is long overdue. Building on the emerging interest on migration in theology this book presents an intercultural theology of migration drawn from the experience of Filipino women domestic workers in Hong Kong in dialogue with theological ethics and liberationist theologies. The result is a new look at the phenomenon of contemporary migration.
