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. 410 0$aRoutledgeCurzon Pacific Rim geographies ;$v5. 606 $aForeign workers, Filipino 606 $aFilipinos$xEmployment$zForeign countries 607 $aPhilippines$xEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy 615 0$aForeign workers, Filipino. 615 0$aFilipinos$xEmployment 676 $a331.6/2599 700 $aTyner$b James A.$f1966-$01093475 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956999803321 996 $aMade in the Philippines$94466978 997 $aUNINA
