Books by Rhacel Parrenas

Fully revised and expanded, Servants of Globalization remains the defining work on the international division of reproductive labor.

Working alongside migrant Filipina hostesses in Japan, Parrenas investigates the impact of being labeled as trafficked victims and explores what governments should do to improve the lives of global migrants.

"With an ethnographer's ear and a social critic's lens, Rhacel Salazar Parrenas illuminates the care deficit of the immigrant second generation, the children of transnational Filipino families left behind by mothers and fathers who labor in the global economy."-Eileen Boris, University of California, Santa Barbara
