Gender and Migration

A remarkable book which provides a comprehensive and conceptually sophisticated analysis of the field of gender and migration studies with a particular emphasis on a much needed intersectional perspective. Both critical and engaging, it not only provides an overview of debates in the field but also contributes theoretically to the area and its development, as well as making a broader contribution to the sociology of migration, to gender studies and to intersectionality.

Making sense of transnational mobility and gender, this timely textbook breaks new ground by pushing us to take a closer look at the interstices of cross-border structures and practices in burgeoning fields such as (post-)migration, care and citizenship studies. The magisterial gender- and inequality-sensitive framework provided by the authors successfully connects the various strands of existing research, and thus opens a space for lively discussion between adherents and skeptics of various approaches.

Using an intersectional lens to explore key issues of migration as a fundamentally gendered process, this book breaks new ground in the study of transnationalism, care, and citizenship. A unique feature of the book is the final chapter on teaching the intersections of gender, migration, and transnationality through the imaginative use of film.

Gender, long a neglected dimension of the migration experience, has been increasingly discussed in the recent literature. Never, however, had this resulted in such a clear and exhaustive overview. By bringing together insights from theories of transnationalism, intersectionality and gender relations, the authors make a major contribution to the teaching and research agenda on gender and migration.
