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.

评分看了才知道为什么评价那么高。theoretically和empirically都是一个会讲故事的人
评分写得太棒啦
评分so moved by this book and really like it. they use their agency to jump out of the old structure and are always on the way to pursue dreams through their everyday practice. So they’re Cinderellas, whatever what they’ll be in the end.
评分太棒了 我读地第一本社会学相关的书 理论和故事融合太好啦 时时刻刻又不忘自己作为学者该有的人文关怀 太棒啦
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...
评分此书非常成功,关键原因可能在于作者用了非常丰富的理论来解释非常丰富的案例,论述清晰文笔流畅,没有许多质性研究那种千头万绪、同义重复之感。 主要运用到的理论一览: (1) 国际分工(Sassen 1992) (2) 象征秩序(Douglas 1966) (3) 刻板印象(Collins 1990)与...
评分一、概述 《跨国灰姑娘》考察了全球化框架之下的东南亚-台湾地区的帮佣市场,对跨国劳工的相关历史和政策、国界与性别的藩篱、阶层-性别的矛盾、婚姻关系,以及全球化等话题进行了细致的讨论,最终根据自己的田野观察和分析,得出的结论是:台湾新富群体通过雇佣东南亚女佣来缓...
评分这是一本既理论又通俗的学术著作,社会学色彩很鲜明。我喜欢读这样的书,不像宏大的纯理论书,不知所云,也不是简单的新闻报道,事实多于分析。诚然,蓝佩嘉老师是一个很敏感的人,能发现生活中容易忽视的细节,并且将社会学理论恰到好处地与事实结合起来,从而完整、理...
评分一、 “仙女挥动魔法棒,南瓜变成华丽的马车,炉台边的老鼠和墙上的蜥蜴变成车夫和马匹,灰姑娘身上的破布衣衫变成了光彩夺目的新衣。” 来自东南亚的一群女性,怀揣着现代性朝圣的美好梦想,只身前往周边发达地区打拼。 “然而兴奋的余热未尽,十二点的钟声敲响,魔...
