Recenzii
Boucher has written an immensely useful treatise on how a precarious, temporary, immigration status, or the lack of a valid immigration status, impacts the workplace rights that workers in four key high-income jurisdictions are able to exercise and enforce in practice. The Migrant Worker Rights Database, created by Boucher, provides a new source of data that will inform scholars and advocates alike about how different legal frameworks may facilitate or hinder the ability of migrants to enforce their rights. Boucher's findings will ultimately be invaluable for efforts to push for structural changes that better protect migrant workers around the world through regulation, legislation, and enforcement.
Beginning each chapter with an engaging account of an individual migrant's encounter with the legal system, Anna Boucher vividly depicts the key themes that emerge from a database comprised of litigation brought by migrant workers in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States to enforce their labor rights. Patterns of Exploitations provides a compelling comparative analysis of violations of migrant workers' labour rights in four key migrant-receiving countries by weaving a quantitative analysis of the innovative database with insights from key legal actors. This excellent book should be read by anyone interested in how migrant workers are exploited and how to stop it.
Patterns of Exploitation is an ambitious book that explores one component of the migrant rights puzzle. Migrants are workers and human beings, yet their workplace rights are not protected to the same extent as citizen workers. To discover why these differences exist, Boucher systematically surveys legal cases filed by migrant workers across four national jurisdictions and generates an overview of the types of exploitation that migrants experience. In contrast to the prevailing notion that courts in liberal democracies tend to protect migrants, she finds that courts safeguard migration worker rights only in so far as workers are protected by the law and the law recognizes migrant vulnerabilities. This book provides a major corrective to our understanding of the role of the courts in liberal democracies in protecting migrant rights and it will be widely cited.
This study is very timely as the world grapples with 164 million people escaping from war, violence, and economic and environmental disasters and seeking refuge and work in advanced liberal democratic societies...Recommended. Undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
