This book explores how abused domestic helpers in Hong Kong discursively construct themselves in sharing sessions with other helpers. A wide variety of competing identities are constructed in the narratives: submissive helper, sacrificial mother, daughter and wife, and powerless traumatised victim, but also resourceful indignant migrant women who, through sharing and peer support, become empowered to fight against abusive employers. This book provides detailed discourse analysis of the women's narratives, but it also explores larger issues such as global migration, exploitation, language and power, abuse and the psychology of evil, intergroup communication, and peer support and empowerment.
Hans J. Ladegaard is Professor and Head of the Department of English, at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
