Reviews
"The Kitchen Spoon's Handle discusses migration of Sri Lankan domestic workers to the Middle East. Interestingly, Gamburd works in the same village as her anthropologist mother. This unique opportunity and the frank accounts of her fieldwork context add to the book's historical depth concerning village social relationships. . . . The Kitchen Spoon's Handle is an easy read, a good candidate for undergraduate-level classrooms."--Chanasai Tiengtrakul, Hanover College, NWSA Journal 15:2, Summer 2003, "The Kitchen Spoon's Handle is a fascinating and analytically rich exploration of caste, class, and gender. Michele Ruth Gamburd explores the housemaids' diverse narratives with insight and lucidity."-Amita Shastri, San Francisco State University, "One of the strengths of this book is the juxtaposing of multiple views on the process of women's emigration. This ethnographically rich project is based on more than 18 months of fieldwork and extensive interviews with returning migrant women and other central actors in the emigration process. . . The retention of gender inequality is one of the most striking narratives presented in The Kitchen Spoon's Handle."-Rhacel Salazar Parrenas, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Contemporary Sociology, Vol. 31, No. 1, "The Kitchen Spoon's Handle is an insightful study of transnationalism that examines the experiences of Sri Lankan domestic workers who labor in oil-rich Persian Gulf states. It offers a deeply nuanced analysis of the shifting, power-laden social relationships that shape international migration and local life, and it is remarkable in its empirical breadth."--Lesley Gill, American University, "Michele Ruth Gamburd's ethnography is a richly detailed and carefully argued examination of power relations in Naeaegama, a southern Sri Lankan village. . . The book is an excellent analysis of the social relations underlying concepts such as identity, power, caste, and class."-Caitrin Lynch, Johns Hopkins University. The Journal of Asian Studies, November 2001, One of the strengths of this book is the juxtaposing of multiple views on the process of women's emigration. This ethnographically rich project is based on more than 18 months of fieldwork and extensive interviews with returning migrant women and other central actors in the emigration process... The retention of gender inequality is one of the most striking narratives presented in The Kitchen Spoon's Handle., Michele Ruth Gamburd's ethnography is a richly detailed and carefully argued examination of power relations in Naeaegama, a southern Sri Lankan village... The book is an excellent analysis of the social relations underlying concepts such as identity, power, caste, and class., "The Kitchen Spoon's Handle thus illustrates how the global implementation of Western bourgeois hegemony will not proceed without a few ructions; ructions that will excite the scholar and entice the developer to facilitate the implementations with an appropriate ideology of care. The book is a useful contribution for the enhancement of such an ideology. . . Her book should appeal to academics and especially undergraduate students in anthropology and other disciplines such as labour studies, women studies and developmental studies."--Rohan Bastin, James Cook University of North Queensland. The Australian Journal of Anthropology, Vol. 13, No.3, 2002., "The Kitchen Spoon's Handle is a fascinating and analytically rich exploration of caste, class, and gender.

The book is an excellent analysis of the social relations underlying concepts such as identity, power, caste, and class."--Caitrin Lynch, Johns Hopkins University. The Journal of Asian Studies, November 2001, "Tremendously engaging, The Kitchen Spoon's Handle presents a deft blending of analytical levels that is both a model for anthropologists who recognize the limitations of traditional village studies and a vindication of the irreplaceable power of face-to-face ethnographic field research. Through the housemaids' own stories, we hear how they resist, conform, and innovate in the struggle to find their bearings within overlapping communities and identities."--Deborah Winslow, University of New Hampshire, The Kitchen Spoon's Handle thus illustrates how the global implementation of Western bourgeois hegemony will not proceed without a few ructions; ructions that will excite the scholar and entice the developer to facilitate the implementations with an appropriate ideology of care.

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, Vol. 13, No.3, 2002., "Michele Ruth Gamburd's evocative case studies make palpable the processes of globalization to which Sri Lankan migrant domestic workers and their families contribute and respond. Through penetrating and sensitive ethnography, Gamburd provides readers with a rigorous analysis of familial, community, national, and transnational relations of inequality, and of the contemporary challenges now reworking those hierarchies."--Sara Dickey, Bowdoin College, "Michele Ruth Gamburd's evocative case studies make palpable the processes of globalization to which Sri Lankan migrant domestic workers and their families contribute and respond.

But Gamburd carefully outlines the process whereby, with transnational migration to work as domestic workings in the Middle East, the handle has come to reach several thousand miles rather than a mere twelve inches."--Darshini Anna De Zoysa, University of Sussex. International Migration Review, Vol. 36, No. 2, 2002., This book's title draws on a traditional Sinhala proverd on women's domesticity, namely that a woman's mind is no longer than a kitchen spoon's handle. But Gamburd carefully outlines the process whereby, with transnational migration to work as domestic workings in the Middle East, the handle has come to reach several thousand miles rather than a mere twelve inches.
