The Migratory Cycle of Atonement --Notes --References --IndexHong Kong is a meeting place for migrant domestic workers, traders, refugees, asylum seekers, tourists, businessmen, and local residents. In Born Out of Place, Nicole Constable looks at the experiences of Indonesian and Filipina women in this Asian world city. Giving voice to the stories of these migrant mothers, their South Asian, African, Chinese, and Western expatriate partners, and their Hong Kong-born babies, Constable raises a serious question: Do we regard migrants as people, or just as temporary workers? This accessible ethnography provides insight into global problems of mobility, family, and citizenship and points to the consequences, creative responses, melodramas, and tragedies of labor and migration policies.Women immigrantsChinaHong KongSocial conditionsWomen foreign workersChinaHong KongSocial conditionsEmigration and immigrationSocial aspectsHong Kong (China)Emigration and immigrationasia.asian immigration.asian migration.asylum seekers.businessmen.china.chinese politics.citizenship.domestic workers.ethnography.family.filipina women.global problems.hong kong.humanity.indonesia.indonesian women.labor politics.local residents.major city.migrant domestic workers.migrant mothers.migrants.migration politics.migration.mobility.morality.mothering.parenthood.parenting.refugees.south asia.temporary workers.the philippine islands.tourists.traders.working class.world city.Women immigrantsSocial conditions.Women foreign workersSocial conditions.Emigration and immigrationSocial aspects.306.874/308864095125SOC002010SOC007000SOC028000bisacshConstable Nicole1023774MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823032303321Born out of place4015071UNINA
