Summary

Contract workers from the Philippines make up one of the world's largest movements of temporary labor migrants. Deirdre McKay follows Filipino migrants from one rural community to work sites overseas and then home again. Focusing on the experiences of individuals, McKay interrogates current approaches to globalization, multi-sited research, subjectivity, and the village itself. She shows that rather than weakening village ties, temporary labor migration gives the village a new, global dimension created in and through the relationships, imaginations, and faith of its members in its potential as a site for a better future.

Author Biography

Deirdre McKay is Senior Lecturer in Geography at Keele University.
