Description

In the latter half of the twentieth century, as immigrant-receiving countries such as Canada began competing to recruit the "most desirable" candidates, immigrants became commodified, their labor bought and sold for the benefit of national and global markets. By providing empirical as well as historical evidence, Habiba Zaman undertakes a rigorous analysis of immigrant women's commodification and the possibility of their decommodification in Canada. In order to present a comprehensive picture of commodification, this book uses empirical as well as historical evidence to explore the relationship between transnational migration and globalization, a relationship that sets the trajectory for immigrant women's commodification. Breaking the Iron Wall looks at the detailed lived experiences of immigrant women, expertly revealing the intersections of race, gender, and class and exposing the forces and processes of commodification in public and private spheres. Review Zaman has written a passionate brief.--Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society Zaman's book adds to the feminist literature in this field...[she] effectively places her research within the scholarship on the welfare state...This book is very timely as the issue of immigration is once more at the forefront of political debates...--Patrizia Longo, Saint Mary's College of California, Professor of Politics, Saint Mary's College of California "Journal of Women, Politics and Society " Examining the processes that commodify immigrant women's labour in Canada through the lived experiences of these women, this book makes a valuable contribution to the field of globalization and migration studies.--Sunera Thobani, The University of British Columbia About the Author Habiba Zaman is an anthropologist who is an associate professor of Women's Studies at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada.
