This book explores the transnational mobility, everyday life and
digital media use of childcare workers living and working abroad.
Focusing specifically on Filipina, Indonesian, and Sri Lankan
nannies in Europe, it offers insights as to the causes and
implications of women's mobility, using data drawn from
ethnographic research examining transnational migration, work
experiences, family, and relationships. While drawing attention to
the hidden, largely invisible and marginalized lives of these
women, this research reveals the ways in which digital media,
especially the use of mobile phones and the Internet, empower them
but also continue to reinforce existing power relations and
inequalities. Drawing on a wide range of perspectives from media
and communications, sociology, cultural studies and anthropology,
the book combines theoretical perspectives with grounded case
studies.
