• Resumen

  • This work investigates how Filipina domestic workers can interpret their work and the migrant experience in light of their largely accepted role as the �new apostles� or evangelizers for the Catholic Church. It examines traditional interpretations of servant-hood, and analyses how gendered understandings of servitude can influence some Filipinas' notion of a subservient self and beliefs about their work as domestic helpers
