Reviews
"One strength of Rosenbaum's research design is its reliance not only on interviews but also on settings for observation: a middle-class mothers' group, a domestic workers' co-op, and an organization advocating for domestic workers' rights." -- Debra Osnowitz * Gender & Society *
"Domestic Economies provides a novel angle for examining domestic work through its focus on the identities of those who hire and do domestic work, rather than on employer-employee relations, as do most other studies." -- Rhacel Salazar Parren~as * International Migration Review *
"This is a beautifully written book, recommended for scholars of gender and work, immigration, and family." -- Kristin Marsh * American Ethnologist *
"This important, nuanced and highly readable ethnography will be important reading for scholars and students interested in the globalisation of care and the intersections of migration, belonging, class, race and gender. I would also recommend it to general readers who want to learn more about the critical contributions of immigrant workers to contemporary everyday life, not only in America but across the world." -- Megha Amrith * Anthropological Forum *
