Reviews

"This book contains rich qualitative data and provides sophisticated analysis of the plights, resistance, and accommodation of domestic workers. The writing is highly engaging. I strongly recommend it to students of qualitative methodology, gender and migration studies, as well as to all those who are interested in agency and contestations of women, and who care about the struggles of the disadvantaged."-Catherine C.
