Description: Wife or Worker? by Nicola Piper, Mina Roces Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This volume challenges the perception of Asian women as either "mail- order" brides or overseas workers. There are a wide range of case studies, all showing the multiplicity of roles women maintain, and emphasizing the point that marriage, work and migration are inextricably linked. Publisher Description This volume challenges the dominant discourse that perceives Asian women as either mail-order brides or overseas workers. Providing the first sustained critique of the artificial analytical division between brides and workers, the book demonstrates womens transition from brides to workers and from workers to brides. Focusing on how women workers use marriage as a strategy to gain citizenship and how migrants for marriage become workers, the authors present these modern Asian women in their multidimensional roles as wives, workers, mothers, and citizens.
