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. 606 $aWomen immigrants$zChina$zHong Kong$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen foreign workers$zChina$zHong Kong$xSocial conditions 606 $aEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 607 $aHong Kong (China)$xEmigration and immigration 610 $aasia. 610 $aasian immigration. 610 $aasian migration. 610 $aasylum seekers. 610 $abusinessmen. 610 $achina. 610 $achinese politics. 610 $acitizenship. 610 $adomestic workers. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afamily. 610 $afilipina women. 610 $aglobal problems. 610 $ahong kong. 610 $ahumanity. 610 $aindonesia. 610 $aindonesian women. 610 $alabor politics. 610 $alocal residents. 610 $amajor city. 610 $amigrant domestic workers. 610 $amigrant mothers. 610 $amigrants. 610 $amigration politics. 610 $amigration. 610 $amobility. 610 $amorality. 610 $amothering. 610 $aparenthood. 610 $aparenting. 610 $arefugees. 610 $asouth asia. 610 $atemporary workers. 610 $athe philippine islands. 610 $atourists. 610 $atraders. 610 $aworking class. 610 $aworld city. 615 0$aWomen immigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen foreign workers$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects. 676 $a306.874/308864095125 686 $aSOC002010$aSOC007000$aSOC028000$2bisacsh 700 $aConstable$b Nicole$01023774 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823032303321 996 $aBorn out of place$94015071 997 $aUNINA
