Description: Millions of Burmese women migrate into Thailand each year to form the basis of the Thai agricultural and manufacturing workforce. This insightful book ventures into a part of the global economy Western observers rarely witness. Based on unique empirical research, it provides a gendered account of the role of women migrant workers in Thailand's factories and interrogates the ways in which they manage their families and their futures.
