If homes can be seen as a microcosm that interfaces with wider political, social and economic (national and transnational) processes, in relation to migration homes are to be considered a crucial site of ‘everyday bordering’, the separation between migrants and non-migrants which takes place in everyday encounters. In this light, this chapter elaborates on the fact that for migrants the homes in which they live in the host-country often do not correspond to the homes where they live or used to live with their family. In particular, it discusses the fact that migrants, especially women, often live together with the family of their employers for whom they work as nannies, cleaners or caregivers, and thus such homes are both their accommodation and their workplace.

Abstract
If homes can be seen as a microcosm that interfaces with wider political, social and economic (national and transnational) processes, in relation to migration homes are to be considered a crucial site of ‘everyday bordering’, the separation between migrants and non-migrants which takes place in everyday encounters. In this light, this chapter elaborates on the fact that for migrants the homes in which they live in the host-country often do not correspond to the homes where they live or used to live with their family. In particular, it discusses the fact that migrants, especially women, often live together with the family of their employers for whom they work as nannies, cleaners or caregivers, and thus such homes are both their accommodation and their workplace.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
