“…It is an "act to institute the policies of overseas employment and establish a higher standard of protection and promotion of the welfare of migrant workers, their families and overseas Filipinos in distress, and for other purposes" (p.1). The act significantly redefined the relationship between the state and its citizens living overseas (Rodriguez 2002). The role of the state then has become that of a manager of overseas employment.…”

“…Contemplacion's hanging infuriated Filipinos everywhere who believed that the Philippine government could have intervened on behalf of Contemplacion because she was a Filipino citizen and a migrant worker who is one of the country's so-called 'new national heroes.' Following some mass protests, Philippine lawmakers were impelled to critically address the forms of rights and protections the state should extend to its citizens overseas (Rodriguez 2002).…”

“…Our project is not to tell about the similarity of experiences of those we have interviewed, but about the conditions that they share: namely, origins in a country where a university education did not buy them a living wage (Guevarra 2003(Guevarra , 2006Parreñas 2001Parreñas , 2005Rodriguez 2002), and participation in a Canadian temporary work visa program that contributed to their immiseration through exploitative working conditions and long-term deskilling (Macklin 1992 , 2008). In pursuing this research project, we have no interest in bringing a Filipino community together in grief.…”

“…Take, for example, the migrants described in Barber's (2000) and Parreñas' (2010) ethnographies of women's labour migration from the Philippines. The women's migration is deeply embedded in the timescale of the Philippines as nation-state, both in the context of post-colonial economic and political restructuring and the temporal narratives of the state that position migrants as central to national imaginaries of the future (Rodriguez, 2002). Secondly, at the meso level, the time tracks of these migrants are heavily structured by the timescales of different governance systems in host states.…”

The Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship series covers three important aspects of the migration progress. Firstly, the determinants, dynamics and characteristics of international migration. Secondly, the continuing attachment of many contemporary migrants to their places of origin, signified by the word 'diaspora'. And thirdly, the attempt, by contrast, to belong and gain acceptance in places of settlement, signified by the word 'citizenship'. The series publishes work that shows engagement with and a lively appreciation of the wider social and political issues that are influenced by international migration.
