Ethiopian Migrant Domestic Workers

Focusing on Ethiopian women who migrate for domestic work in the Middle East, the book explores their aspirations shaped by gendered inequalities in Ethiopia. Through qualitative research in Ethiopia, Lebanon, and Kuwait, it examines how gender, race, class, and nationality intersect, influencing migrant identities and agency. The analysis highlights the effects of migration on social reproduction in both home and host countries, providing new empirical and theoretical perspectives on women's significant role in international migration from Africa.
