Gender and Migration in 21st Century Europe

'This excellent diverse collection of strongly interdisciplinary papers further tackles the continued relative invisibility of gender relations within understandings of migration. It demonstrates the frequently negative consequences for women of both internal and international migration but also how the women involved are not simply passive victims of impersonal migration processes.' Keith Halfacree, Swansea University, UK 'This volume makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the relationship between legal aspects of immigration control and social and economic processes of gendered migration within a Europe whose boundaries are changing. In particular, it provides new perspectives on managing family life, women's careers and criminal justice.' Eleonore Kofman, Middlesex University, UK 'This book ... is a useful tool for putting migratory behavior and the consequences of migration on family and work life into a socio-cultural context and for theorizing migration behavior from a gender perspective.'
