Free Servants Of Globalization: Migration And Domestic Work, Second Edition Ebooks To Download
Servants of Globalization offers a groundbreaking study of migrant Filipino domestic workers who leave their own families behind to do the caretaking work of the global economy. Since its initial publication, the book has informed countless students and scholars and set the research agenda on labor migration and transnational families.With this second edition, Rhacel Salazar Parreñas returns to Rome and Los Angeles to consider how the migrant communities have changed. Children have now joined their parents. Male domestic workers are present in significantly greater numbers. And, perhaps most troubling, the population has aged, presenting new challenges for the increasingly elderly domestic workers. New chapters discuss these three increasingly important constituencies. The entire book has been revised and updated, and a new introduction offers a global, comparative overview of the citizenship status of migrant domestic workers. Servants of Globalization remains the defining work on the international division of reproductive labor.

This book is an excellent enquiry to labor and migration in the framework of global capitalist economy. Through the examples of Filipino/a domestic workers in to cities of the Global North, Los Angeles and Rome, the author delicately points out on dynamics and inequalities pertaining to gender, age, citizenship, and ethnicity in the global context.The author conceptualises further Sassen's "international division of labor", exemplifying the cases of Filipino/a domestic workers who left their homes, children, families to work in the countries of the Global North. Parreñas names it international transfer of caretaking or “the three-tier transfer of reproductive labor among women in sending and receiving countries of migration” (28)There are many other insights that one can get from reading this very interesting and academically profound book.
