Hong Kong is a meeting ground for migrant domestic workers,
traders, refugees, asylum seekers, tourists and businessmen, and
local residents. At the heart of this book are the stories and
experiences of migrant mothers from Indonesia and the Philippines,
their South Asian, African, Chinese, and Western expatriate
partners, and their Hong Kong born babies. Constable gives voice to
the immigrant mothers in this Asian world city and, in the process,
raises a serious question: do we regard immigrants as people, or
just workers? This accessible ethnography provides insight into
global problems of mobility, family, and citizenship and points to
the consequences, creative responses, melodramas, and tragedies of
labor and migration policies.
