Review of Women Migrant Workers: Ethical, Political and Legal Problems edited by Zahra Meghani (Routledge, 2016)
Women Migrant Workers brings together an international selection of researchers who advance richly nuanced arguments as to why and how women migrant workers, with or without legal immigration status, matter as much as migrant workers more generally. The analyses offered in this book are multidisciplinary and international and are informed by data and case studies that document and explore the systemic and structural mistreatment women migrant workers from the global south experience in wealthy liberal democracies where they are employed. The purpose of this book is two-fold: (a) to make the case for the fair treatment of women migrant workers employed in the so-called ‘low-skilled,’ low-waged occupations of care workers, domestic workers, home health workers, and farm workers; and (b) to propose creative but realistic solutions to the unfair treatment of these women migrant workers.
