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.
