"By including the voices of the women currently doing the majority of reproductive work in the US, Immigrant Women Workers adds an important element to the conversation. Immigrant Women Workers captures many of the issues of perpetual importance to immigrant women workers."
Women's Review of Books "This work carries important implications for labor educators and organizers… This book solidly ... Read morereinforces the concept as Audre Lorde explains, that single issue research and organizing is ineffective because we do not lead single-issue lives."
Labor Studies Journal   "Grounded in rich ethnographic data, each of these informative case studies makes for compelling reading in addressing these workers' current conditions and positions. Highly Recommended."
Choice "The editors have succeeded in bringing together a wide range of excellent ethnographic research from scholars from different social science disciplines. What distinguishes this volume from other academic books on the subject is the authors' explicit intention to make manifest their double role as academics and activists. The authors present concrete data and analysis meant to give basis to future strategies to improve the situation of women migrants… The collection provides relevant and timely case study material for teaching and research into the gendered effects of the recent economic crisis and neo-liberal policy-making on the lives of migrants in the USA."
Ethnic and Racial Studies   "An important volume that highlights the ways in which immigrant women in the US are both adapting to, and fighting to improve, their workplaces."
Labour/Le Travail   "A valuable addition to a growing body of literature that critically examines the experiences of women migrants in the informal economy.  What sets this collection of papers apart from other works on immigrant worker women is that in these narratives the women's trials and their triumphs are highlighted.  These women are not passive victim in their narratives.  Their agency is apparent, and presented clearly to the reader."
