Listening to Silenced Voices

摘要

Social justice is typically denied to women in the global labor market. Why does most of the world turn a blind eye to migrant women laborers who are being lured abroad for domestic and menial labor in deplorable conditions? In Born Out of Place, Nicole Constable discusses possible answers by utilizing a social justice agenda for international labor policies. Constable addresses the predicaments that migrant/immigrant female domestic workers face in their host countries and upon re-entry to their countries of origin. The book supports social justice by emphasizing the range of multicultural issues surrounding the plights of these marginalized and underrepresented groups at both local and global levels. Constable expands awareness of the following social justice related areas of concern: nation, ethnicity, institutionalized stereotypes, poverty, and gender issues. Constable's work encourages readers to shift away from ignorance and toward an awareness of complex global and multicultural issues.
