520 _aa book by Rhacel Salazar ParreƱas that examines the exploitation of migrant domestic workers, particularly women, in the Arab states, focusing on the kafala system. The book uses ethnographic research, mainly on Filipino workers in the UAE, to challenge simplistic views of the kafala system and instead offers a more nuanced understanding of "unfreedom" that includes both legal structures and interpersonal.
