来香港度个小假,临行前从新买的一摞书中抽中了这一本《跨国灰姑娘》——无他,别的书都是理论大部头,无论如何不适合杀时间。 现在坐在楼下的太兴茶餐厅,吃个猪仔包、喝个奶茶,读几节书,抬头,不时看见玻璃窗外的热带肤色女佣匆匆走过。多穿着简单的T恤短裤,夹脚凉拖,身...
评分这是一本社会学领域的书,探讨了女性家务移工这一现象。开始读这本书是对书名感到好奇,怀着“为什么作者要称女性家务移工为跨国灰姑娘”的困惑开始读这本书,却发现它展现的是“屋檐下的全球化”“家庭中的微观政治”。 其实从女性家务移工这一身份我们就可以看出作者探讨的问...
评分“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...
评分灰姑娘的隐喻里所包含的假设,与丑小鸭终将变成白天鹅异曲同工,这种叙事结构被广泛应用于各类现代剧目,在《跨国灰姑娘》里,现实与童话的鸿沟无法逾越。在雇主面前卑躬屈膝的灰姑娘们,在假日的后台上盛装打扮、靓丽出场,做一场变成公主的短暂的幻梦。这世上的灰姑娘有成千...

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.
