Review Quotes: This is an important contribution that aims to uncover the broader aspects of migration in relation to work and employment. The chapters look at the edges of the social and the more hidden forms of work and exploitation, as well prompting us to think about and question the effectiveness of more established forms of responding to the issue of exclusion.--Miguel Martinez Lucio, Professor of International HRM and Comparative Industrial Relations, University of Manchester
