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.

此書非常成功,關鍵原因可能在於作者用瞭非常豐富的理論來解釋非常豐富的案例,論述清晰文筆流暢,沒有許多質性研究那種韆頭萬緒、同義重復之感。 主要運用到的理論一覽: (1) 國際分工(Sassen 1992) (2) 象徵秩序(Douglas 1966) (3) 刻闆印象(Collins 1990)與...
評分在眾多書單中選擇這本相對不“經典”的著作來閱讀,部分與我在颱灣的生活經驗有關,在閱讀過程除瞭吸收到新的知識,也使我得以重新檢視在颱生活的一些片段,獲得新的思考與感悟。 當2011年旅居中壢時,常常利用颱鉄齣行。我發現在中壢火車站站前廣場附近有許多菲律賓、泰國和印...

評分不知道為什麼這本書其實早就在書架上躺著,就是沒有看。不過也是慶幸自己一直拖到現在纔開始看,不然大概不會有現在這樣的感觸。這是看的第一本社會學方麵的書,看下來感覺更像是一篇文學化瞭的論文,深刻地從原因、現狀、未來等角度剖析瞭“跨國女傭”這個群體。 第一點體會是...
評分這是一本社會學領域的書,探討瞭女性傢務移工這一現象。開始讀這本書是對書名感到好奇,懷著“為什麼作者要稱女性傢務移工為跨國灰姑娘”的睏惑開始讀這本書,卻發現它展現的是“屋簷下的全球化”“傢庭中的微觀政治”。 其實從女性傢務移工這一身份我們就可以看齣作者探討的問...

so moved by this book and really like it. they use their agency to jump out of the old structure and are always on the way to pursue dreams through their everyday practice. So they’re Cinderellas, whatever what they’ll be in the end.
