- Abstract
The article discusses two books, "Solidarity & Care: Domestic Worker Activism in New York City" by Alana Lee Glaser and "Care Activism: Migrant Domestic Workers, Movement-Building, and Communities of Care" by Ethel Tungohan. Both books explore the strategies and experiences of care activists in different contexts. Glaser focuses on the Domestic Workers United (DWU) in New York City and emphasizes the importance of solidarity and community building. Tungohan examines care activism in Canada, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Singapore, highlighting the significance of dissident friendships and communities of care. Both books shed light on the everyday resistance and resilience of care workers and offer insights for other industries and social movements.
