In a society with an unprecedented history of immigration, those who are often seen as a drain on America's resources cross borders in search of equal opportunity. Grace Chang's vital account of immigrant women - who work as nannies, domestic workers, janitors, nursing aides and homecare workers - proves the opposite: women who perform our least desirable jobs are crucial to our economy and society. Disposable Domestics highlights the unrewarded work immigrant women perform as caregivers, cleaners and servers and shows how women actively resist exploitation.
Now in paperback: Ai-Jen Poo, one of TIME's '100 Most Influential People' shows how governments and carers can work together to ensure that the elderly are able to age with dignity, security and independence. Interweaving her own personal stories with those of pensioners and caregivers across America, Ai-jen Poo allows us a glimpse into the often hidden lives of seniors, as well as insight into the lives of those we pay to take care of them. The Age of Dignity is a clarion call for fairness and empathy toward both our elders and their caregivers.
