Passport Entanglements - Protection, Care, and Precarious Migrations (Paperback)

Passport Entanglements examines the problems with documents issued
to Indonesian migrant workers in Hong Kong and explores the larger
role that passports and other types of documentation play in
gendered migration, precarious labor, and bureaucracy. Focusing on
the politics and inequalities embedded in passports, anthropologist
Nicole Constable considers how these instruments determine legal
status and dictate rights. Constable finds that new biometric
technologies and surveillance do not lead to greater protection,
security, or accuracy, but rather reinforce violent structures on
already vulnerable women by producing new vulnerabilities and
reproducing old ones.
