abstract: 'Through the lens of culture intersecting with gender, race and class,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this monograph looks at the reconfiguration of skilled worker identity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of 20 Philippines-born women who have immigrated to Australia. Through
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interviews and analyses of their lived experiences, it attempts to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comprehend the complexity of their unemployment, from their encounter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the labor market, to their attempts in breaking into the workforce.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It contextualizes the institutional disadvantages and discrimination
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
befalling migrant women of non-English speaking background, as well as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
housework and mothering responsibilities they continue to resist at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
home. The complex interaction of the women''s higher education, English
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
language proficiency, their sense of purpose and other personal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
resources-all assisted in reframing their subordinated identity, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recapturing their careers. The women risked taking jobs lower than their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
qualifications, took further studies, went through rigorous
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accreditation, and acquired local experience, as stepping stones to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regain their professions and subsequently their middle-class status.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Their journey, however, is not without severe difficulties. By using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
agency and privilege, this monograph argues that the women epitomized
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the classical modernist ideology of the self within a capitalist system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They were aware of structural disadvantages and discriminatory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
practices, but they found ways of working within these limitations,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which results to masking the hardships they endured. The study debunks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the effectiveness of the notion that individual''s capacity over the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
state ``to enterprise themselves{''''} is a success strategy.'
