Summary, etc. note:

W.D.A. Sumanasara's "Early Return of Sri Lankan Housemaids" offers a critical and comprehensive examination of the complex phenomenon surrounding Sri Lankan women returning prematurely from their overseas domestic employment, primarily in the Middle East. This in-depth study delves into a significant yet often overlooked aspect of international labor migration, shedding light on the myriad challenges faced by female migrant workers.
Drawing on rigorous research and empirical data, Sumanasara systematically investigates the underlying causes for these early returns, which range from contractual breaches, harsh working conditions, and various forms of physical and psychological abuse, to health issues and unforeseen family emergencies back home. The narrative extends beyond the reasons for return, meticulously examining the profound socio-economic and psychological repercussions for these women and their families, including financial instability, social stigma, trauma, and difficulties with reintegration into their communities.
More than just an analysis, the book provides critical insights into the vulnerabilities inherent in temporary labor migration schemes and offers valuable recommendations for policy interventions aimed at protecting migrant workers and facilitating their safe and dignified return. It is an essential resource for scholars in migration studies, gender studies, sociology, and development, as well as policymakers and NGOs working with migrant communities. |
