While this work is generally rewarding, these professionals frequently fall victim to stressors and happiness barriers that impact their ability to function at work, the longevity of their career and the quality of their relationships outside of the hospital. Burnout, diminished career fulfilment, substance abuse, and suicide data for healthcare professionals demonstrate that the risks to this population are incredibly real. Unfortunately, there is nothing to suggest that any of these stressors are improving as pandemics, access disparities, changes in healthcare system structure, and patient complexity further escalate work-related challenges. \u003c\/p\u003eThankfully, there are sources of help readily available to each of us.

This book draws attention to the reserve of immigrant labor that is called on to meet this need. \u003ci\u003eMigrants Who Care\u003c\/i\u003e tells the little-known story of a group of English-speaking West African immigrants who have become central to the U.S. health and long-term care systems. With high human capital and middle-class pre-migration backgrounds, these immigrants - hailing from countries as diverse as Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, and Liberia - encounter blocked opportunities in the U.S. labor market. They then work in the United States, as home health aides, certified nursing assistants, qualified disability support professionals, and licensed practical and registered nurses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book reveals the global, political, social, and economic factors that have facilitated the entry of West African women and men into the health care labor force (home and institutional care for older adults and individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities; and skilled nursing). It highlights these immigrants’ role as labor brokers who tap into their local ethnic and immigrant communities to channel co-ethnics to meet this labor demand. It illustrates how West African care workers understand their work across various occupational settings and segments in the health care industry. This book reveals the transformative processes migrants undergo as they become produced, repackaged, and deployed as health care workers after migration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, this book tells the very real and human story of an immigrant group surmounting tremendous obstacles to carve out a labor market niche in health care, providing some of the most essential and intimate aspects of care labor to the most vulnerable members of society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Showers illuminates an extremely important story that needs to be told about Black populations who are doing critical support work and yet remain invisible–Black West African immigrants. \u003ci\u003eMigrants Who Care\u003c\/i\u003e is the first study of its kind.” -- Mary J.

This did not happen smoothly but arduously against structural barriers of racism, neoliberalism, and xenophobia. With deftness and nuance, Showers convincingly shows ethnicity to be both an advantage and disadvantage for migrants in pursuit of this pathway, offering jobs in ethnic-owned facilities but barriers in diverse health care settings.
