This labor migration is highly regulated by the government, private, and non-governmental/non-private organizations. Tyner argues that migrants are socially constructed, or 'made' by these parties and that migrants in turn become political resources. Employing a post-structural feminist perspective Tyner questions the very ontology of migration.RoutledgeCurzon Pacific Rim geographies ;5.Foreign workers, FilipinoFilipinosEmploymentForeign countriesPhilippinesEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyForeign workers, Filipino.FilipinosEmployment331.6/2599Tyner James A.1966-1093475MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956999803321Made in the Philippines4466978UNINA03550oam 2200709I 450 991097414690332120251117092817.01-136-18187-30-203-08288-51-283-84200-91-136-18188-110.4324/9780203082881 (CKB)2670000000298921(EBL)1075186(OCoLC)819380207(SSID)ssj0000827108(PQKBManifestationID)12361354(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000827108(PQKBWorkID)10820430(PQKB)10069521(MiAaPQ)EBC1075186(Au-PeEL)EBL1075186(CaPaEBR)ebr10630817(CaONFJC)MIL415450(FINmELB)ELB134228(EXLCZ)99267000000029892120180706d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrSpatiality /Robert T.
