Migrant women are the primary source of paid domestic workers around the world. Since the 1980s, the newly prosperous countries of East Asia have recruited foreign household workers at a rapidly increasing rate. Many come from the Philippines and Indonesia. Pei-Chia Lan interviewed and spent time with dozens of Filipina and Indonesian domestics working in and around Taipei as well as many of their Taiwanese employers. Based on the vivid ethnographic detail she collected, Lan provides a nuanced look at how global inequalities are enacted in private households. She also sheds light on the fate of the workers, "global Cinderellas" who seek an escape from poverty at home only to find themselves treated as disposable labour abroad.Lan demonstrates how economic disparities, immigration policies, race, ethnicity, and gender intersect in the relationship between the employees and their Taiwanese employers. The employers are eager to flex their newly acquired financial muscle; many are first-generation career women as well as first-generation employers.The domestics are recruited from abroad as contract and "guest" workers; restrictive immigration policies prohibit them from seeking permanent residence or transferring from one employer to another. They take care of Taiwanese families' children, often having left their own behind. While many of the domestics, particularly the Filipinas, are well educated, they are expected to act deferentially at work. Throughout Global Cinderellas, Lan pays particular attention to how the women she studied identify themselves in relation to "others" - whether they be of different classes, nationalities, ethnicities, or education levels. In so doing, she offers a framework for thinking about how migrant workers and their employers understand themselves in the midst of dynamic trans-national labour flows.
台湾面临的问题和大陆非常相似:人口高龄化现象越来越严重,大量的老人需要照顾;另一方面,在市场经济和进步思潮的影响下,传统的男主外女主内的家庭结构也已经不复存在,夫妻双双工作的家庭比比皆是。在这种情况下,家里的老人和小孩应该由谁来照顾呢?这变成了一个很大的社...

評分《跨国灰姑娘》这个名字起得真是意味深长。“跨国”意味着全球化移动,“灰姑娘”则是试图改变自己的、地位低下的女性。文化或者文学语词的模糊性,对照社会学研究中的精确和严准,展现出来的就是精心构建的简单与复杂。 “移动”与“女性”是蓝佩嘉抓住的“台湾外劳”两大特质...
評分“她们的迁移,并不是推力(国内的贫困)与拉力(国外的财富)作用下的必然结果。促使她们决定到海外工作的是种种错综复杂的因素,包括经济压力、家庭失和、在家乡没有生活目标和选择权等。然而,我们也不能把女性移工单纯视为人口贩运的受害者,或是跨国人力中介的商品。她们...
評分最初知道《跨国灰姑娘:当东南亚帮佣遇上台湾新富家庭》这本书,是在豆瓣的友邻广播中。当时收藏了,却一直无缘见面。前不久在某图书馆中文书库里转悠的时候,抬头一眼看到了,很高兴,马上借回家。 这本书关注的是东南亚女性家务移工和台湾女雇主,作者通过访谈以她们的个人...
