Illuminating the complexities of care work, the book offers a detailed study of women's lives and working conditions. It considers how their experience of migration and intimate labor is one of rupture that both enables and forces them to gradually reconstitute themselves, in their host cities, as people quite distinct from their \"normal\" selves back home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eCare for Sale\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates the connections and the factors that contribute to migrant women choosing either domestic or sex work, including their concerns about money and morality. It moves away from a narrow focus on migration and labor to focus instead on the creation and (re)creation of persons; and on the ways in which people fashion themselves and cultivate difference, inequality, or commonality as part of their self-making projects. By doing this, the book shows migrants not only as economic actors, but also as individuals involved in an intimate process that constantly modifies their sense of morality and personhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eCare for Sale\u003c\/em\u003e is a volume in the series \u003cstrong\u003eISSUES OF GLOBALIZATION: CASE STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY\u003c\/strong\u003e, which examines the experiences of individual communities in our contemporary world.
