The problems of immigration
Empire of Care is a well-written review of a very interesting topic, current to immigration policy. The author looks at the desires of the immigrants to better themselves, the desire of the USA to get professional workers without having to spend money on education, and the benefit of the immigrants to their home country. This is a very complex issue.

Interesting but not that much
Empire of care is not an argumentative book. The author only goal is to define the context in which Pilipino nurses migrated to the US. The problem is in her attempt to leave the decision to the reader on rather or not the US was a good or bad influence on the Philippines she does not give enough background information about the history of America's and the Philippines'...

Empire of care is not an argumentative book. The author only goal is to define the context in which Pilipino nurses migrated to the US. The problem is in her attempt to leave the decision to the reader on rather or not the US was a good or bad influence on the Philippines she does not give enough background information about the history of America's and the Philippines' relationship to draw anything from unless you are already familiar w/ the topic. If you want info about the Philippines, US imperialism, migration, or related topics pick another book.
