Global dimensions of gender and carework
Why are women such prominent workers in the global marketplace? Why do so many perform jobs that involve carework? What political forces have made these women key participants in globalization? What are the consequences for the women themselves, for their families, and for societies and international relations in general? .This book offers an examination of globalization, examining the lives of the women at the center of these new global dynamics. Arguing that society is facing multiple crises of care, the authors develop a new framework for understanding the interplay of globalization, gender, and carework. In four original essays, they examine gender, race, and class inequality: migration, citizenship, and the politics of social control: the evolving meanings of motherhood: and new social definitions of carework and the personal transformation of careworkers. Excerpts from the classic works in the field as well as recent cutting-edge research studies support the examination of each of these growing global crises.- Creator

Dancing the feminine
Migration makes a profound impression on identity, its expressions and performance. Migrant communities often cast women as bearers of cultural reproduction. This is especially the case when women choose to become representatives of their community through cultural dance performances. Such performances are also a means to express the migrant life of movement and a way to maintain their sense of well-being. This book is a vision of expressions of gender and identity at the heart of the Asian women’s experience.- Creator

Zwarte, migranten- en vluchtelingenvrouwen, oral history interview met DIV09
Oral history interview met DIV09, geboren op 13 juli 1950 in Paramaribo, Suriname. Ze groeit op als vijfde kind in een gezin waarvan de vader inspecteur van de politie is. In 1951 verhuist het volledige gezin naar Nederland. In het begin van het interview vertelt DIV09 uitgebreid over de geschiedenis van haar familie, zowel van vaders als van moeders kant, waarin etniciteit, ras en klassenverschil een grote rol hebben gespeeld. DIV09s ouders stimuleren hun kinderen om te studeren en succesvol te zijn. Vooral tijdens haar jeugd is haar vader haar rolmodel. Zij wil een carrière, niet als haar moeder huisvrouw zijn. Maar ook haar opa van moeders kant heeft invloed. Hij was erg voor een onafhankelijk Suriname en op de hand van de vrijheidsstrijders. Haar vader zette zich juist af tegen alles wat Surinaams was. Als DIV09 achttien is, in 1968, vertrekt zij na haar middelbare schooltijd voor een jaar via een uitwisselingsprogramma naar de Verenigde Staten. Zij woont daar bij een wit gezin en bezoekt de lokale highschool. Daar realiseert zij zich dat zij een vrouw is met een kleur en dat zij moet kiezen welke identiteit zij heeft. Zijzelf noemt dat intersectionaliteit: het is niet voldoende om alleen naar gender te kijken, of alleen naar seksualiteit, of alleen naar ras, maar dat het om intersectie van die drie belangrijke assen gaat en wat daarin normaal geacht wordt. Na haar verblijf in de Verenigde Staten begint DIV09 met een rechtenstudie in Nijmegen. Ze sluit zich aan bij de Surinaamse en Antilliaanse studenten in de internationale studentenvereniging die bezig zijn met de dekolonisatie van Suriname en de zwarte bevrijdingsbeweging in de Verenigde Staten. Na een jaar stapt ze over naar culturele antropologie in Amsterdam. Tijdens haar studie gaat zij zich inzetten voor de Vrouwenbeweging. In eerste instantie realiseert zij zich dat ook hier weer alles wit is en ras en etniciteit geen enkele rol spelen, terwijl dat voor haar wel zo is. Pas later, als rond de onafhankelijkheid van Suriname steeds meer zwarte vrouwen naar Nederland komen, vindt zij daarbij aansluiting en gaat ze deel uitmaken van de opbloeiende zwarte, migranten- en vluchtelingenvrouwenbeweging (zmv). Vlak voor haar afstuderen in 1981 begint ze als ambtenaar in de buitendienst van het Bureau Landelijk Contact bij het Ministerie van Welzijn, Volksgezondheid en Cultuur. In deze functie geeft zij voorlichting aan gemeenten en sociaal-culturele instellingen over het verkrijgen van subsidies voor minderhedenbeleid in Zuid-Holland. Vanaf 1984 werkt ze bij de Gemeente Amsterdam als coördinator minderhedenbeleid. In het begin van de jaren tachtig ontdekt zij ook haar lesbisch zijn en gaat zich in die wereld verdiepen. In 1987 vertrekt zij naar de Verenigde Staten om aan de University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) te promoveren. Tijdens haar onderzoek naar seksuele relaties binnen de Surinaamse vrouwencultuur - “mati-werk” genoemd - woont zij negentien maanden in Suriname. [einde interview 1] [interview 2] Ze vertelt uitgebreid over “mati”, over haar promotieonderzoek en hoe dat ontvangen wordt. Ze krijgt daarna een aanstelling aan Oberlin College in Ohio om vrouwenstudies te doceren, maar na een jaar gaat ze liever terug naar Nederland, waar ook haar partner woont. In maart 1994 vervolgt ze haar wetenschappelijke carrière aan de Universiteit Utrecht. In 2001 wordt ze daar aangesteld als hoogleraar zmv, een leerstoel van het IIAV, tegelijkertijd met het aanvaarden van een functie als directeur van de organisatie Gender Etniciteit en Multiculturaliteit in het hoger onderwijs. Ze vertelt over de soms heftige reacties op haar hoogleraarschap. Terugblikkend op haar carrière denkt ze dat ze altijd voor de muziek uit heeft gelopen en kwesties aan de orde heeft gesteld die voor veel mensen ongemakkelijk waren. Nu ze met emeritaat is, doet ze nog steeds onderzoek en publiceert ze wetenschappelijk, maar hoopt ze ook een roman te schrijven en weer meer tijd te hebben voor haar poëzie. De aanleiding voor dit interview is het Aletta project ‘Diversiteit’ om levensverhalen van prominente vrouwen met een migrantenachtergrond op beeld vast te leggen.- Creator

The men and women we want
Should immigrants have to pass a literacy test in order to enter the United States? Progressive-Era Americans debated this question for more than twenty years, and by the time the literacy test became law in 1917, the debate had transformed the way Americans understood immigration, and created the logic that shaped immigration restriction policies throughout the twentieth century. Jeanne Petit argues that the literacy test debate was about much more than reading ability or the virtues of education. It also tapped into broader concerns about the relationship between gender, sexuality, race, and American national identity. The congressmen, reformers, journalists, and pundits who supported the literacy test hoped to stem the tide of southern and eastern European immigration.- Creator

Interculturality and gender
This publication interrogates the politics of interculturality and translation to explore how key concepts of representation, responsibility, and complexity might be practically applied within feminist pedagogy. Interlinking pedagogical theories with collaborative teaching at the universities of Trento, Athens and Goldsmiths (London), the essays refuse to separate scholarship from politics, and theorizing from teaching. The experience of working jointly in transdisciplinary workshops and seminars aimed at gendered interculturality in the classroom is theorised to highlight issues of race, sexuality, religion, and migration and to question how to bring diverse feminist commitments into the lived present and the imagined future. Each essay presents its own definition of gendered interculturality, an exemplary teaching unit, and pedagogical theory.- Creator

Gendering global transformations
The authors of this book probe the effects of global and local forces in reshaping notions of gender, race, class, identity, human rights, and community across Africa and its Diaspora. The essays in this collection employ diverse interdisciplinary approaches--drawing from subjects such as history, sociology, religion, anthropology, gender studies, feminist studies--in an effort to centralize gender as a category of analysis in developing critical perspectives in a globalizing world. From this approach the authors, scholars from Africa, Europe and the United States, hope to illuminate the effects of issues such as international migration, globalization, and cultural continuities among diaspora communities on the articulation of women’s agency, community organization, and identity formation at the local and the global level.- Creator

Gender and race matter
Gender inequality persists in most countries. This collection highlights patterns of behaviour and gender relations and locates women at the centre of a dialogue and presents key interventions in gender and race matters. For the contributors, gender serves as an analytical framework and covers the experiences of women in different global settings related to education, political activism, corporeal violence, identity, sexuality, and poverty. The use of poetry and literature provides a powerful voice for women against exclusion and recognises their contribution to society.- Creator

Romancing human rights
This book examines Anglophone literature and dynamics of gender and race in relation to Burma and brings a critical lens to contemporary literature, film, and politics through the use of an innovative feminist/queer methodology. The book demonstrates how Burmese women break out of prisons, both real and discursive, by writing themselves into being. Ho assembles an archive that includes George Orwell, Aung San Suu Kyi, critically acclaimed authors Ma Ma Lay and Wendy Law-Yone, and activist Zoya Phan. Her close readings of literature and politicized performances by women in Burma, the Burmese diaspora, and the United States illuminate their contributions as authors, cultural mediators, and practitioner-citizens. These authors articulate regionally situated knowledges and decolonizing viewpoints that interrogate competing transnational hegemonies, such as U.S. moral imperialism and Asian militarized dictatorship.- Creator

The expansion of the European Union will affect the employment opportunities of women. This book explores the complex inter-relationship between women's employment, the institutionalization of equal opportunities, and Women's Studies training. It reveals differences amongst specific European countries and comes up with findings about women's actual experiences of the job market. It analyses the changing patterns of women's employment: equal opportunities: educational migration: gender, race, ethnicity and nationality: and the uneven prevalence and impact of Women's Studies on the lifestyles and everyday practices of those women who have experienced it.- Creator

Seks en stigma over grenzen heen
In een etnografische studie beschrijft de auteur waarom de geïnterviewde homoseksuele en lesbische migranten uit hun land van herkomst naar België kwamen en welke rol hun seksualiteit in de migratiebeslissing speelde. Hij bekijkt wat de invloed van migratie was op hun seksualiteitsbeleving en de manieren waarop ze omgingen met hun gestigmatiseerde identiteit in het land van aankomst. In het tweede deel reageren binnen- en buitenlandse academici en holebi-activisten op het onderzoek. Onderwerpen zijn onder meer een kritisch overzicht van de studie naar islam en homoseksualiteit, de situatie van tweede generatie homo’s en lesbiennes in Nederland, en de behandeling van homoseksualiteit in Belgisch en Europees vreemdelingenrecht en in de asielprocedure.- Creator

Contesting archives
These historians view archives as places where decisions are made about whose documents - and therefore whose history - is important. Finding that women's voices and their texts were often obscured or lost altogether, they have developed many new methodologies for creating unique archives and uncovering more evidence by reading documents 'against the grain,' weaving together many layers of information to reveal complexities and working collectively to reconstruct the lives of women in the past. Global in scope, this volume demonstrates research on diverse women from the sixteenth century to the present in Spain, Mexico, Tunisia, India, Iran, Poland, Mozambique, and the United States. Addressing gender, race, class, nationalism, trans-nationalism, and migration, these essays' subjects include indigenous women of colonial Mexico, Muslim slave women, African American women of the early twentieth century, Bengali women activists of pre-independence India, wives and daughters of Qajar rulers in Iran, women industrial workers in communist Poland and socialist Mozambique, and women club owners in modern Las Vegas.- Creator

Born in Paris but having grown up in Africa, Denis explores in her films the legacies of French colonialism and the complex relationships between sexuality, gender, and race. From the adult woman who observes her past as a child in Cameroon to the Lithuanian immigrant who arrives in Paris and watches a serial killer to the disgraced French Foreign Legionnaire attempting to make sense of his past, the subjects of Denis's films continually revisit themes of watching, bearing witness, and making contact, as well as displacement, masculinity, and the migratory subject- Creator

A house is not a home
Polly Adler's 'house' was a brothel, a major site of New York City underworld activity from the 1920s through the 1940s. Adler's notorious Lexington Avenue house of prostitution functioned as a sort of social club for New York's gangsters and a variety of other celebrities, including Robert Benchley and his friend Dorothy Parker. A self-consciously literary work, A House Is Not a Home provides an informal social history of immigrant mobility, prostitution, Jewish life in New York, police dishonesty, the 'white slavery' scare of the early twentieth century, and political corruption. Adler's story fills an important gap in the history of immigrant life, urban experience, and organized crime in New York City. While most other accounts of the New York underworld focus on the lives of men, from Herbert Asbury's Gangs of New York through more recent works on Jewish and Italian gangsters, this book brings women's lives and problems to the forefront- Creator

Men of the global south
This reader is about gender and the developing world. In recent years there has arisen a sophisticated feminist literature on the lives of Third World women, their roles in development and their experiences of conflict. However the lives of Third World men have been ignored or consigned negative and stereotypical gender roles. While it is vital not to overlook men's roles in crime, exploitation, and violence, it is obvious that a more nuanced and empathetic portrait of Third World men remains to be painted. In this anthology are parts about family and sexuality, religion, work, migration and masculinities.- Creator

Asian women as transnational domestic workers
Once an occupation traditionally associated with poor rural women who migrated to cities in search of work, paid domestic work is now a transnational occupational niche for millions of women from Asia's less well-off countries-including the Philippines, Indonesia, Burma, Sri Lanka, and India-who embark on sojourns to the richer countries of the world-such as Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada, the Middle East and parts of Europe-in search of a more lucrative livelihood and promising futures for their families and themselves. .Transnational domestic workers are important contributors to the economies of the countries that receive them and also to their own countries through the growing volume of money sent home. Despite their crucial role in the global economy, transnational domestic workers, mostly female, continue to migrate and work under unfavorable conditions and remain highly vulnerable to exploitation. .This volume is an attempt to enhance not only academic research on transnational domestic workers, but also the ability of governments, NGOs and civil society groups-especially in sending and receiving countries-to derive appropriate policies and make recommendations to address the problems directly confronted by Asian transnational domestic workers.- Creator

Transnational migration and the politics of identity
Focusing on Asian women's experience of immigration, the authors describe the gendered dimension of migration, the different experiences of men to women and the subsequent consequences for women within the constraints of the root culture and the strategies deployed to make life more bearable in the host country. The central argument is that immigrant women are unable to completely break away from the chains of traditional patriarchal norms, imposed by either their host country or root culture.- Creator

Migrant women transforming citizenship
This bookdevelops essential insights concerning the notion of transnational citizenship by means of the life stories of highly educated Turkish migrant women in Germany and Great Britain, interweaving and developing theories of citizenship, identity and hybridity with the lived experiences of an immigrant group that has so far received insufficient attention. By focusing on the British and German contexts, it introduces a European and comparative perspective, whilst exploring the ways in which concepts and policies of citizenship allow for a differentiated examination of ethnicity, gender, multiculturalism and citizenship in Europe. With its empirical material in its exploration of the ways in which migrant women, though often marginalized from the nation as legal or cultural outsiders, create new meanings of belonging, this book suggests how citizenship debates can be reframed to be inclusive of migrant women as actors.- Creator

Adopting the notion of 'third world' as a political as well as a geographical category, this volume analyzes marginalized women's experiences of globalization. It unravels the intersections of race, culture, ethnicity, nationality and class which have shaped the position of these women in the global political economy, their cultural and their national history. In addition to a thematically structured and highly informative investigation, the authors offer an exploration of the policy implications which are commonly neglected in mainstream literature.- Creator

Intersectionalizing European politics
The authors argue that central future challenges for political science are (1) to mainstream intersectional analysis: (2) to be critical of the construction of taken-for-granted categories and the way such 'fixed' categories result from the focus on nation-states: and (3) to develop new mix-method toolkits to make this exercise feasible.- Creator

The limits of gendered citizenship
The theme of this collection is gendered citizenship and the challenges and limits that confront the gendering of citizenship. It critiques the notion of the genderless nation-state citizen — in both analytical and policy terms and contexts — and necessarily engages with at least three major sets of contradictions or tensions: limitations on achieving gender equal or gender equitable citizenship: relations and differences between gender equality policy, diversity policy, and gender mainstreaming: and interplays of academic analyses of and practical interventions on gendered citizenship. Contributors from diverse scientific disciplines and academic backgrounds aim to provide a better understanding of the challenges that societies within Europe and elsewhere face vis-à-vis diversity, regionalism, transnationalism, and migration.- Creator

Migration, domestic work and affect: a decolonial approach on value and the feminization of labor
Domestic and care work in private households is now the largest employment sector for migrant women. This book sheds light on these households through its focus on the interpersonal relationships between Latin American “undocumented migrant” domestic workers and employers in Austria, Germany, Spain and the UK. The personal experiences of these women form the basis for Gutiérrez-Rodríguez’s decolonial analysis of the feminization of labor in private households and cultural analysis of domestic work as affective labor. This book will be a necessary voice in the debates on citizenship, cosmopolitanism, and migrant workers’ rights.- Creator

Kultur und Geschlecht in der Interkulturellen Pädagogik
The object of the research in this book was to make a contribution to the feminist and postcolonialist educational theory and (critique of) science.Thereby especially taking into account the categories of culture and gender. The author studied the different positions of educational scientists since the 1990s and presents the arguments for a theoretical discussion of social categories. She concludes that postcolonial critique can be a critique of additional and hierarchical thinking and she argues that gender and culture/ethnicity are interdependent categories.- Creator

Zwarte, migranten- en vluchtelingenvrouwen, oral history interview met DIV07
Oral history interview met DIV07, geboren in 1954 in Addis Abeba, Ethiopië. Ze groeit op in een gegoede middenklasse familie met voor Ethiopische begrippen ongewoon gelijke verhoudingen tussen mannen en vrouwen, waarin ook voor meisjes groot belang aan onderwijs wordt gehecht. Rond haar vijftiende raakt ze al een beetje betrokken bij de marxistisch geïnspireerde Ethiopische studentenbeweging. Als ze op zeventienjarige leeftijd in Londen gaat studeren, komt ze daar terecht in de studenten- en vrouwenbeweging die sterk verbonden is aan de revolutionaire beweging in Ethiopië. In 1974 wordt Haile Selassie afgezet en moet haar familie, die verbonden was met zijn regime, vluchten. DIV07 krijgt in Engeland de vluchtelingenstatus en mag gratis haar studie afmaken. Ze wil daarna doorstuderen en krijgt daarvoor een beurs aan het ISS (International Institute of Social Studies) in Den Haag, waar ze onder andere de nieuwe richting vrouwenstudies doet en na haar studie ook anderhalf jaar werkt. In Nederland ziet ze geen zwarte vrouwen in de mainstream van de vrouwenbeweging zoals in Engeland, en raakt ze betrokken bij het begin van de zwarte, migranten- en vluchtelingenvrouwenbeweging (zmv). Ze is in 1986 actief in de oprichting van de stichting Flamboyant, een documentatiecentrum over zmv. Later gaat ze zich exclusiever bezighouden met vluchtelingen en is ze betrokken bij de oprichting van de VON, de federatie van vluchtelingenorganisaties in Nederland. Daarbinnen neemt ze het initiatief tot het vormen van een vrouwenraad om specifieke vluchtelingenvrouwenkwesties op de agenda te zetten, zoals de zelfstandige verblijfstatus. Rond 1992 wordt met de komst van veel Somaliërs naar Nederland de kwestie van de vrouwenbesnijdenis een hot item. De aanleiding voor dit interview is het Aletta project ‘Diversiteit’ om levensverhalen van prominente vrouwen met een migrantenachtergrond op beeld vast te leggen.- Creator
