Made in the Philippines

Informationen zum Autor James A. Tyner is Associate Professor of Geography at Kent State University. Klappentext The Philippines is the world's largest exporter of temporary contract labor with a huge 800,000 workers a year being deployed on either six month or two year contracts. This labor migration is highly regulated by the government, private, and non-governmental/non-private organizations. Tyner argues that migrants are socially constructed, or 'made' by these parties and that migrants in turn become political resources. Employing a post-structural feminist perspective Tyner questions the very ontology of migration. Zusammenfassung Labour migration is regulated by the government private, and non-governmental/non-private organizations. Tyner argues that migrants are socially constructed by these parties and that migrants in turn become political resources. Inhaltsverzeichnis The Discontinuities of Philippine Migration.
