![]() | Marketing Dreams, Manufacturing Heroes: The Transnational Labor Brokering of Filipino Workers The experience of Filipino nurses and domestic workers--two of the country's prized exports--is at the core of the research, which utilizes interviews with employees at labor brokering agencies, state officials from governmental organizations in the Philippines, and nurses working in the United States. Guevarra's multisited ethnography reveals the disciplinary power that state and employment agencies exercise over care workers--managing migration and garnering wages--to govern social conduct, and brings this isolated yet widespread social problem to life. Anna Romina Guevarra is an assistant professor of sociology and Asian American studies and affiliated faculty of gender and women's studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. |
