Abstract:

This book examines how language is a central resource in transforming migrant
women into transnational domestic workers. Focusing on the migration of women
from the Philippines to Singapore, the book unpacks why and how language is
embedded in the infrastructure of transnational labor migration that links
migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries. It sheds light on the
everyday lives of transnational domestic workers and how they draw on their
linguistic repertoires, and in particular on English, as they cross
geographical and social spaces. By showing how the transnational mobility of
labor is dependent on the selection and performance of particular assemblages
of linguistic resources that index migrants as labor and not as people, the
book provides a powerful lens with which to examine how migration contributes
to relationships of inequality and how such inequalities are produced and
challenged on the terrain of language.
