About this book

What does it take to build a transnational market around low-wage labor? A multi-sensory ethnography of the Nepali migration regime – and the multifaceted migrant subjectivities at its core.

Reviews

»The book contributes importantly to a much needed holistic analysis that weaves the local, national, and international functioning of the labour market to create and sustain hierarchies based on ethnicity and nationality, and use these criteria to bend workers to submit, to the benefit of employers and recruitment agencies.«
