Summary

Migration has become a key area of preoccupation for governments, international agencies and human rights activists the world over. This book argues, however, that studies of migration have become too limited in scope, focusing on the policy demands of governments and humanitarian agencies.

Gender and Migration Summary

Gender and Migration: Feminist Interventions by Isabel Rodriguez Mora

Provocative and intellectually challenging, Gender and Migration critically analyses how gender has been taken up in studies of migration and its theories, practices and effects. Each essay uses feminist frameworks to highlight how more traditional tropes of gender eschew the complexities of gender and migration. In tackling this problem, this collection offers students and researchers of migration a more nuanced understanding of the topic.

Gender and Migration Reviews

'This original collection brings a feminist, intersectional and interdisciplinary lens to question the seemingly innocuous and in discussions of gender and migration. Highly recommended.' Rosalind Gill, Kings College 'Reading this book, which is highly recommended, you are swept into postcolonial countries as well as into the old heart of Europe and you will necessarily loose the sense of innocence and neutrality in relation to your own thinking and conceptualizing.' Frigga Haug, The Berlin Institute of Critical Theory 'This book makes a significant contribution to the growing literature on the gendered character of migrations as well as that of states and societies' responses to them.' Nira Yuval-Davis 'This is a theoretically rich exploration of gender and migration. Each chapter covers crucial issues, but the collection as a whole makes key interventions in understandings of policy and humanitarian issues. It is provocative and imaginative in its careful, scholarly and accessible treatment of issues frequently taken for granted by governments, international agencies and human rights activists. It deserves to become essential reading, not only in a variety of academic disciplines, but by those working in, and legislating about, migration as well as the wider public.' Ann Phoenix, Institute of Education 'This is a must-read for anyone in the ever-widening fields of international relations and migration studies.' M. Brinton Lykes, Boston College 'This book is a critical resource for 21st century feminist scholars, practitioners, activists, students and policymakers.' Jude Clark, University of KwaZulu-Natal
