Requests:  0 Summary:  "In taking up the mothercoin--the work of mothering, divorced from family and exchanged in a global market--immigrant nannies embody a grave contradiction: while "women's work" of childcare and housekeeping is relegated to the private sphere and remains largely invisible to the public world, the love and labor required to mother are fundamental to the functioning of that world. Listening to the stories of these workers reveals the devastating consequences of undervaluing this work." -- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 649.10869 Cu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
