| Riassunto: | In this article I explore the issue of nursing status in Kerala, India and how
over time a colonial discourse of caste-based pollution has given way to a discourse
of sexual pollution under expanding migratory opportunities. Based on survey and
qualitative research findings, I caution that the improving occupational status of
nursing in India is not directly mapped onto social status, and this is particularly
evident in the matrimonial market. In the light of these findings I argue that global
nursing care chain (GNCC) analysis must assess more than just workplace contexts
in order to conceptualize how global care chains (GCCs) interlock, and how they are
differentiated from each other. |
