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 Philippines4466978UNINA
