The Making of a Transnational Grassroots Migrant Movement

This study by Prof. Hsiao Chuan-Hsia of Taiwan analyzes how migrant workers from the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Nepal, and Sri Lanka have worked together across nation-state, racial, and gender boundaries. In particular, it describes the AMCB’s origins and achievements and asks what makes the AMCB possible and what lessons in grassroots transnationalism are to be gleaned from the AMCB’s efforts and its relationship with NGOS.
