From the publisher
From the jacket flap
In "Marketing Dreams, Manufacturing Heroes" Anna Romina Guevarra focuses on the Philippines--which views itself as the "home of the great Filipino worker"--and the multilevel brokering process that manages and sends workers worldwide. The experience of Filipino nurses and domestic workers--two of the country's prized exports--is at the core of the research, which utilizes interviews with employees at labor brokering agencies, state officials from governmental organizations in the Philippines, and nurses working in the United States.
