Reviews

“Issues related to care and to gender are crucial contemporary global migration studies. The book by Theodoros Fouskas looks at those issues in the specific case of Filipina migrant women in Greece by using a feminist inspired epistemology as well as a life story approach. The volume is a major contribution to the scholarship on migration, gender and care in Southern Europe. A very stimulating read! – Marco Martiniello, Professor of Sociology, Research Director, National Fund for Scientific Research (FRS-FNRS), Director of the Center for Ethnic and Migration Studies (CEDEM), Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Liège, Belgium
