Abstract
ABSTRACT Taking Georgian migrant women who work in Turkish homes as a case, this article explores the material and ideological conditions surrounding the extraction of surplus value from live-in migrant domestic labourers. From the perspectives of social reproduction and labour process theories, it documents the migrant workers’ concerted consent and resistance strategies in the workplace with reference to domestic labour processes. Based on an ethnographic study, the findings show the contradictory nature of migrant women’s attainments due to their gendered migrant identities. Implications of these findings in relation to the collective organisation of domestic labourers are discussed.
