Description

The Philippines is the world's largest exporter of temporary contract labor with a huge 800,000 workers a year being deployed on either six month or two year contracts.

This labor migration is highly regulated by the government, private, and non-governmental/non-private organizations.

Tyner argues that migrants are socially constructed, or 'made' by these parties and that migrants in turn become political resources.

Employing a post-structural feminist perspective Tyner questions the very ontology of migration.
