| description |
The objective of this research was to explore
the life-world of migrant women
health care-aides, focusing on their on
their own subjective understandings of caregiving and
the market for care in Canada. Qualitative
interviews ranging in length from
one to three hours produced snapshots of
the social and cultural fractures endemic
to the migration and settlement process.
I argue that women's caregiving
practice is an aspect of an ethics of care
that allows for moments of empowerment
and resistance to an oppressive social
context shaped by a matrix of race, class
and gender hierarchies. |
