"In detailing the experiences and actions of migrants who are marginalized and exploited by the very societies of which they form so vital a part, this second edition of Holmes’s book will undoubtedly appeal to a broad readership – from migration and labor scholars and students, to healthcare professionals and legislators, and finally to activists and participatory-action researchers."
