'This book is certain to become a new reference point for future discussions of gender, care and globalization. Nicola Yeates combines feminist engagement with the intellectual insights of a sophisticated scholar. Her study analyses how family cultures struggle to manage the global economy and migration imperatives, and how devastating that process can be. It is essential reading for anyone who cares about gender and globalization.'
Lise Widding Isaksen, Department of Sociology, University of Bergen, Norway
'Globalising Care Economies and Migrant Workers makes a valuable contribution to the literature on women's migration and expands our formulation of the 'care chain' by including the experiences of professional migrant
women workers. Its theorization of the developing global care economy makes this book a necessary read for those interested in the labor and migration of women in our global society.'
Rhacel Salazar Parrenas, Professor of American Civilization at Brown University, USA
'...this detailed, informative and well-written book is a welcome addition to the international literature on global care chains, revealing their complexity and their embeddedness in global and historical processes.
