Domestic work has become highly relevant on a local and global
scale. Until a decade ago, domestic workers were rare in European
households; today they can be found working for middle-class
families and single people, for double or single parents as well as
for the elderly. Performing the three C's - cleaning, caring and
cooking - domestic workers offer their woman power on a global
market which Europe has become part of. This global market is now
considered the largest labour market for women world wide and it
has triggered the feminization of migration. This volume brings
together contributions by European and US based researchers to look
at the connection between migration and domestic work on an
empirical and theoretical level. The contributors elaborate on the
phenomenon of 'domestic work' in late modern societies by
discussing different methodological and theoretical approaches in
an interdisciplinary setting. The volume also looks at the gendered
aspects of domestic work; it asks why the re-introduction of
domestic workers in European households has become so popular and
will argue that this phenomenon is challenging gender theories.
This is a timely book and will be of interest to academics and
students in the fields of migration, gender and European studies.
