Migration, social reproduction and capitalism: part 2 introduction
摘要
This second collection of essays continues the exploration of issues in Migration, Social Reproduction and Capitalism. As in Part I, the issue contains a range of ethnographic studies that capture the diversity of social reproductive labour as migrants contend with the material realities of everyday life, often including transnational commitments. The studies illuminate how the scholarship on social reproduction may be enriched though the lenses of political economy, feminism, and Marxism with a view to advancing the theoretical debates over social reproduction through ethnographically informed considerations that take account of the everyday struggles of subaltern peoples in multiple yet interconnected sites as capitalism continues its relentless quest for devalued and readily exploitable and expendable migrant labour.
