- Description
- This issue is dedicated to the problems of migrations from the point of view of undertaken research in Switserland. Magalie Gafner and Irène Schmidlin analyze the possibilities for migrant women to obtain stable residency status in Switzerland. They argue that the legal provisions have discriminatory effects on women who are not citizens of the EU or EFTA. The number of women migrating to Switzerland from countries outside the European Union has significantly increased in recent years. The feminization of migration has been conceptualized in the literature as an outcome of global economic forces and as the only option for women from low-income countries to solve their material needs. Yvonne Riaño and Nadia Baghdadi argue that this perspective is insufficient to explain female migration. Based on a qualitative analysis of the life stories of twenty women from Latin America, Southeast Europe and the Middle East, they conclude that many factors other than economic hardship shape the decisions of women to migrate. In particular, a desire to achieve gender equality in wider society and at the household level appears to be a strong motivation for migration. In her article Corinne Dallera provides reflections on the condition of women immigrant workers through a presentation of the experiences of three such women since their arrival in Switzerland in the beginning of the 1980s. These intimate reports reveal important aspects of the ways in which gender relations are structured by the discriminatory system that regulates residency for those of foreign nationality and vice versa, with the aim of controlling women immigrants. Dallera also questions the great influence that psycho-culturalism plays in the official approach to the integration of immigrant women in Switzerland. Christine Achermann and Ueli Hochstettler based their paper on research on foreign inmates in two high-security prisons in Switzerland (one for female and the other for male inmates). They look at the prison as a gendered organization and explores how it copes with the growing heterogeneity of the prison population due to global migration and delinquency.

- Description
- Special issue that highlights social, economic and cultural exclusions. As seen in the papers presented in this volume most forms of exclusion are gendered. The major contribution of this volume's focus is on gendered exclusion in global cities and examines the intersections between culture, gender and identity and analyzes how power relations and gendered subordination are still actually dominant factors in shaping and re-shaping the lives of women as well as men. The special is divided into: 1. 'Tolerance and beyond as expressed in different perspectives of everyday life' and 2. 'Tolerance towards people of diversity and beyond?'.

- Description
- Themanummer n.a.v. de LOVA-studiedag, 22 juni 2001, georganiseerd door de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Kathy Davis besteedt aandacht aan de globalisering van het lichaam. Lineke Stobbe vat haar onderzoek naar de herstructurering van de Argentijnse auto-onderdelenindustrie samen en de gevolgen daarvan voor de arbeidsdeling naar sekse. Met deze studie probeert de onderzoeker de gevolgen van het proces van economische globalisering op lokaal niveau zichtbaar te maken en aan te tonen dat de uitkomsten niet eenduidig te vatten zijn in termen van meer of minder vrouwen. Margit van Wessel besteedt aandacht aan vrouwen uit de middenklasse in India. Gisela Dütting gaat in op politieke dimensies van de internationale vrouwenbeweging waar de discussies over globalisering toenemen. Annelou Ypeij beschrijft de wijze waarop armoede het dagelijks leven van vrouwen in Lima vorm geeft en de opkomst van gemeenschappelijke kleinschalige confectiewerkplaatsen. Marian Tankink deed onderzoek naar de rol van de pinksterkerk bij vrouwen in Oeganda met een oorlogstrauma. In een interview met Juliëtte Schaafsma praat Thera Rasing over het globaliseringsproces waaraan vrouwen op een eigen manier invulling geven.
