While much of the literature on global care work has focused on Asian and Latine migrant care workers, there is comparatively less research that explicitly examines African care workers and their migration histories to Europe. Sociologist Celeste V. Curington focuses on Portugal: a European setting with comparatively liberal policies around family settlement and naturalization for migrants. In this setting, rapid urbanization in the late twentieth century, along with a national push to reconcile work and family, have shaped the growth of paid home care and cleaning service industries. Many researchers focus on informal work settings where immigrant rights are restricted and many workers are undocumented or without permanent residence status. Curington instead examined workers who have accessed citizenship or permanent residence status and also explores African women's experiences laboring in care and service industries in the formal market, revealing how deeply colonial and intersectional logics of a racialized and international division of reproductive labor in Portugal render these women "hyper-invisible" and "hyper-visible" as "appropriate" workers in Lisbon"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Women foreign workers |zPortugal |xHistory |y21st century. 650 0 Africans |zPortugal |xHistory |y21st century. 650 0 Women |xEmployment |zPortugal. 650 0 Women caregivers |zPortugal. 650 0 House cleaning |zPortugal. 651 0 Portugal |xRace relations. 650 6 Travailleuses étrangères |zPortugal |xHistoire |y21e siècle. 650 6 Africains |zPortugal |xHistoire |y21e siècle. 650 6 Aidantes naturelles |zPortugal. 650 6 Habitations |xEntretien journalier |zPortugal. 910 |cG0601mon |d3110-07 |gYBP |h174445 914 (OCoLC)on1415239555 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20241002 |eprocessed |f1415239555 980 20637111 |f174445 |i120.00 |j98.40 |n40032442973 982 |cf |q32101114591298
