Disposable domestics

immigrant women workers in the global economy

Second edition.

by

  • 2 Want to read

The prevailing image of migrants, particular women of color, is that of a drain on "our" resources. Grace Chang's vital account of migrant women-- frequently undocumented and disenfranchised, working as nannies, domestic workers, janitors, nursing aides, and home care workers-- proves just the opposite.
