A good provider is one who leaves : one family and migration in the 21st century / Jason DeParle. by DeParle, Jason. Viking, 2019. Call #: 305.906912 D419g Subjects Comodas, Rosalie.   Comodas, Rosalie -- Family.   Filipinos -- United States -- Biography.   Immigrants -- United States -- Biography.   Filipinos -- Employment -- Foreign countries.   Foreign workers, Filipino -- United States.   Emigration and immigration -- History -- 21st century.   United States -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 21st century. ISBN:  9780670785926 (hc.) Alternate title:  One family and migration in the 21st century Description:  382 p. : genealogical table ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  DeParle moved into the Manila slums thirty years ago. He made a friend in Tita Comodas, and spent decades reporting on her family-- husband, children, and siblings-- as they came to embody the rise of global migration. The result is a portrait of a family across three generations, as migration reorders economics, politics, and culture across the world. At the heart of the story is Rosalie, Tita's middle child, who escapes poverty by becoming a nurse, and lands jobs in Jeddah, Abu Dhabi and, finally, Texas. DeParle shows how migration touches every aspect of global life-- and restructures personal lives. -- adapted from jacket Genre:  Biographies.
