'Maid to Queer' discusses Asian female migrant workers who develop same-sex relationships in a host city. Based on participant observation and in-depth interviews with Indonesian domestic workers in Hong Kong, the book explores the meanings of same-sex relationships to these migrant women. Instead of searching for reasons to explain why they engage in a same-sex relationship, the book provides an ethnographic perspective by addressing their Sunday activities and considering how migration policies and the practices of Hong Kong people unintentionally produce alternative sexuality and desires for them.

1. In Sickness and Wealth looks at migration from the unusual perspective of the migrant-origin community rather than the migrant abroad. 2. This book is a powerful text that stands alone on its own merits, but also fits well with two other works recently published by IUP: Deirdre McKay's An Archipelago of Care and Faranak Miraftab's Global Heartland. All three of these books explore the subject of migration. 3. This clearly written ethnography is very timely in its focus on the experience of women and migrants.

While it is one of the world's leading exporters of labor, Indonesia remains on the fringes of the sociology of new international migration. By proposing a socio-anthropology of the migrations of Indonesian workers towards Malaysia and Singapore, this book shows that they nevertheless play a key role in the transformation of the societies of Southeast Asia and the globalisation of regional economies. From an ethnographic approach, Loïs Bastide captures these movements as close as possible to the actors, without renouncing to describe their social, political, cultural and historical contexts. It thus highlights transnational spaces linked to the practices of this "global precariat": while societies are opening up under the effect of migration, lives now take place on a transnational scale. Understanding these transformations today requires describing different ways of living in the transnational.
