Migrants Who Care is the first study of its kind.” -- Mary J. Osirim * author of Enterprising Women: Gender, Microbusiness and Globalization in Urban Zimbabwe * “Migrants Who Care illustrates how West Africans created an ethnic niche in health care as both workers and entrepreneurs and forged a pathway to the American dream. This did not happen smoothly but arduously against structural barriers of racism, neoliberalism, and xenophobia. With deftness and nuance, Showers convincingly shows ethnicity to be both an advantage and disadvantage for migrants in pursuit of this pathway, offering jobs in ethnic-owned facilities but barriers in diverse health care settings. This book is a must-read for scholars of care, labor, migration and race.” -- Rhacel Salazar Parreñas * author of Unfree: Migrant Domestic Work in Arab States * Author InformationFUMILAYO SHOWERS is an assistant professor of sociology and Africana studies at the University of Connecticut.
