Maid to Order in Hong Kong: Stories of Migrant Workers
Nicole Constable centers Filipina migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong, showing how recruitment, employment, live-in rules, resistance, and negotiation shape care labor in an Asian global city.
📝 Book Review & Summary
Maid to Order in Hong Kong brings global care chains into the household spaces and recruitment systems of Hong Kong. Constable follows Filipina domestic workers as they navigate contracts, live-in arrangements, employer control, intimacy, and migrant community networks.
For FemRes, the book keeps migration and care from becoming a Europe-and-North-America-only story. It shows how class, racialization, colonial history, and labor regulation operate inside Asian global cities.
