- Description
- Domestic and caregiving work has been at the core of human existence throughout history. Poorly paid or even unpaid, this work has been assigned to women in most societes and occasionally to men often as enslaved, indentures, 'adopted' workers. While some use domestic service as training for their own future independent households, others are confined to it for life and try to avoid damage to their identities (Part One). Employment conditions are even worse in colonizer-colonized dichotomies, in which the subalternized have to run the households of administrators who believe they are running an empire (Part Two). Societies and states set the discriminatory rules, those employed develop strategies of resistance or self-protection (Part Three).

- Description
- This book contests the idea that Europe developed within clear-cut geographical boundaries. It examines how experiences of colonialism and imperialism continue to be constitutive of the European space and of the very idea of Europe. By approaching Europe as a complex political space, the chapters investigate topical concerns around its politics of inclusion and exclusion towards migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, as well as its take on internal conflicts, transitions and cosmopolitan imaginaries.

- Description
- Analysis by regions, countries and types of migration reveals a strong variation regarding levels and features of female and male migration. This approach shows the distinct ways in which gender roles, perceptions and relations, each embedded in a particular cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic context, affect migration dynamics. This volume demonstrates that gender matters at each stage of the migration process.

- Description
- This 40th yearbook volume discusses how both experienced and young academics operationalize concepts in gender research practices and what it means for them to 'do' gender history in 2021. With contributions of among others Geertje Mak, Halleh Ghorashi, Francisca de Haan, Berteke Waaldijk, Garjan Sterk, Saskia Bonjour and Annemarie Mol, the book shows how certain concepts such as body, intimacy, migration, intersectionality and masculinity travel within academic culture across the Low countries and find a home in individual research practices.

- Description
- Estimated participation figures of almost 30 million worldwide make soccer the most prominent team sport amongst girls and women. However, making a living as a female player is only deemed possible in approximately 20 out of around 150 FIFA-listed women’s soccer countries. This has led to a situation where highly skilled sports women have to migrate from their homelands to find employment with a professional team.

- This volume focuses on the work of exiled women writers and journalists as well as on gendered representations in the writing of both male and female exiled writers. The contributions are in English or German. The seventeen contributions set out to both celebrate and critically examine the concepts of gender and sexuality in exile in a wide range of texts by well-known and lesser known authors, and throw light on many different aspects of gendered authorship and gendered relations. The volume also looks at two bibliographic rarities: exile newspapers intended for and directed at a female readership. Table of contents: “Exemplary Lives”? Thoughts on Exile, Gender and Exile Writing / Katharina Prager: Gender and Kindertransport Memoirs / Andrea Hammel: Anna Seghers und die Moderne: Positionen aus der Expressionismusdebatte und den großen Exilromanen / Christine Ujma: Masculinity and Femininity in Anna Seghers’ and Bodo Uhse’s Mexican Exile Narratives / Trinidad Marín Villora: Carl und Alice Zuckmayer in Vermont: A Gendered Perspective / Birgit Maier-Katkin: Die Suche nach dem Ort: Veza Canettis Erzählung „Toogoods oder das Licht“ / Rosa Marta Gómez Pato: „Man wird, was man war erst ganz in der Emigration“: Veza und Elias Canetti in der Emigration in England ?
