This article presents the narrative analysis of interview data collected from 15 migrant domestic workers (MDWs) from the Philippines who were diagnosed with breast cancer in Hong Kong. The analysis draws on a social constructionist understanding of identity as multiple and performed through language, communication, and social interaction to explore how these MDWs narrated their cancer experiences and changing identities as they worked to incorporate serious illness into their lives as MDWs. The narratives of these MDWs highlight their multiple and changing identities as they move and communicate across places, systems of migration and networks of relationships.
本文呈现了对15名来自菲律宾、在香港被诊断出患有乳腺癌的移民家政工人（MDW）访谈数据的叙事分析。该分析借鉴了社会建构主义对身份的理解，即身份是多元的，且通过语言、交流和社会互动得以展现，以探讨这些移民家政工人在努力将重病融入其作为家政工人的生活过程中，是如何讲述自己的癌症经历以及身份的变化。这些移民家政工人的叙事凸显了他们在不同地方、移民系统和关系网络中迁移与交流时多元且不断变化的身份。
