************************************************************************************
Dr. Ju-chen Chen’s article, entitled “Sunday catwalk: The self-making of Filipino migrant women in Hong Kong”, has been published as a chapter of the book The Age of Asian Migration: Continuity, Diversity, and Susceptibility Volume 2, edited by Yuk Wah Chan, Heidi Fung, and Grażyna Szymańska-Matusiewicz:
"Ju-chen Chen offers a fascinating story of the self-enterprising Filipino domestic workers who do not rest on their rest days, but instead engage in all sorts of event-making activities. By participating in and organising beauty pageants, contests and performances, the migrant women un-mistakenly construct a new group identity for themselves which is not a replica of the national (home) discourse, but is a more regional or home-town based folk network. Through their busy schedules and flamboyant “catwalking” on Sundays, Filipino women reassert their desire to create a better self during their overseas stays as domestic workers in Hong Kong."
The book explores three themes, which include "Women and Migration", "Refugee and Borderland Migration" and "Remittances and Migration Economics".
