Migrant women are the primary source of paid domestic workers around the world. Since the 1980s, the newly prosperous countries of East Asia have recruited foreign household workers at a rapidly increasing rate. Many come from the Philippines and Indonesia. Pei-Chia Lan interviewed and spent time with dozens of Filipina and Indonesian domestics working in and around Taipei as well as many of their Taiwanese employers. Based on the vivid ethnographic detail she collected, Lan provides a nuanced look at how global inequalities are enacted in private households. She also sheds light on the fate of the workers, "global Cinderellas" who seek an escape from poverty at home only to find themselves treated as disposable labour abroad.Lan demonstrates how economic disparities, immigration policies, race, ethnicity, and gender intersect in the relationship between the employees and their Taiwanese employers. The employers are eager to flex their newly acquired financial muscle; many are first-generation career women as well as first-generation employers.The domestics are recruited from abroad as contract and "guest" workers; restrictive immigration policies prohibit them from seeking permanent residence or transferring from one employer to another. They take care of Taiwanese families' children, often having left their own behind. While many of the domestics, particularly the Filipinas, are well educated, they are expected to act deferentially at work. Throughout Global Cinderellas, Lan pays particular attention to how the women she studied identify themselves in relation to "others" - whether they be of different classes, nationalities, ethnicities, or education levels. In so doing, she offers a framework for thinking about how migrant workers and their employers understand themselves in the midst of dynamic trans-national labour flows.

评分家务劳动作为一种长期被女性承包的无偿劳动,以情感和道德回报取代经济回报。在男女追求事业平等的当下社会,这种家务劳动成为阶层之间、国际之间“女性外包”劳动力市场上的有偿工作。 离家工作的菲佣和印佣,以经济回报换取自己需要在自身家庭中承担的情感和道德义务...
评分在众多书单中选择这本相对不“经典”的著作来阅读,部分与我在台湾的生活经验有关,在阅读过程除了吸收到新的知识,也使我得以重新检视在台生活的一些片段,获得新的思考与感悟。 当2011年旅居中坜时,常常利用台鉄出行。我发现在中坜火车站站前广场附近有许多菲律宾、泰国和印...
