摘要

自2002年以来，印度尼西亚的移徙家庭佣工(idw)逐渐改变了他们仅仅是体力劳动者的普遍看法。随着他们开始出版小说、短篇小说、诗歌选集和非虚构作品，他们吸引了另一种形式的关注。在本文中，两本关于IDW的书——即Susanti的《关于维多利亚公园的悲伤》和Sorrita的《The little dragon dancer》——被研究和分析，以进一步探索故事背后的潜台词。我认为，idw的叙述提供了另一种叙述，表明idw对强调移民声音重要性的强加刻板印象进行了反击。两本书都提供了对idw在香港生活的洞察，说明了idw的移民经历。

One place two stories: Unravelling Indonesian domestic workers’ migrant journey in Hong Kong

Following the year 2002, Indonesian migrant domestic workers (IDWs) gradually transform the generic perception that they are merely physical workers. They have attracted a different form of attention as they began to publish novels, short stories, poetry anthologies and non-fiction writings. In this paper, two books on IDW ‐ namely, Susanti’s Tentang Sedih di Victoria Park (‘About sadness in Victoria Park’) and Sorrita’s Penari Naga Kecil (‘The little dragon dancer’) ‐ are examined and analysed to further explore the subtext underlying the stories. I argue that IDWs’ narratives offer an alternate narrative that indicates IDWs fighting back on the imposed stereotypes underlining the importance of migrant voice. Both books provide insights into IDWs’ lives in Hong Kong, which illustrate IDWs’ migrant experience.

期刊介绍： Crossings: Journal of Migration & Culture situates itself at the interface of Migration Studies and Cultural Studies. The terminology and key concepts in use in discourses on migration have yet to be sufficiently theorized or understood from theoretical perspectives linked to cultural studies, although migration is intrinsically linked to questions of culture. The course of cultures at both local and global levels is crucially affected by migratory movements. In turn, culture itself is turned migrant. This journal''s scope will be global, with a predominant focus on migration and culture from the latter half of the twentieth century to the present-day. Apart from the inclusion of refereed articles, Crossings: Journal of Migration and Culture will include a section of reviews of films, music, photography, exhibitions or books on migration-related topics, interviews with cultural practitioners who focus on migration-related topics, and oral histories of migrant cultural experiences.
