Care for Sale

This book explores the lives of migrant women from Latin America who work as domestic and sex workers in London, selling care and intimacy for money. The author delves into the complexities of their working conditions and considers how their experience of migration and intimate labor leads to a gradual reconstitution of their sense of self. The book moves beyond a narrow focus on migration and labor, examining how individuals fashion themselves and cultivate difference, inequality, or commonality as part of their self-making projects. Care for Sale is part of a series that examines the experiences of individual communities in our globalized world.
