 abstract = {This article explores some of the ways in which ideas about and attempts to construct                a European identity and sense of belonging inscribe an imaginary of Europe that is                exclusionary and elitist. It suggests that the symbolic figure of ‘the                immigrant woman’ is a container category that simultaneously signifies the                non-European and tests and destabilizes claims to Europe's essential                characteristics. It also argues that traces of this imaginary of Europe can be found                in feminist scholarship on global care chains and that the spatial category of                ‘the domestic’ is the invisible seam that ties this scholarship                to the hegemonic imaginary of Europe.},
