From invisibility to accountability: Rethinking Canada’s responsibility toward migrant workers

Abstract

First paragraph:

In Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers, Marcello Di Cintio offers a deeply researched and powerfully narrated account of the structural vulnerabilities faced by migrant workers in Canada. Through a combination of investigative journalism, historical analysis, and intimate biographical por­traits, Di Cintio challenges dominant narratives of Canadian benevolence and exposes the systemic conditions that render thousands of workers “permanently temporary.” At a time when labor shortages and food insecurity dominate public debate, this book provides a timely and necessary examination of the human cost underlying Canada’s economy. . . .
