- Description
- Given the recent changes to migration patterns and citizenship processes, this volume provides a theoretical study of the gendered implications of such developments. More specifically, it draws out the multiple connections between migration and citizenship concerns and practices for women. The collection features original research that examines women's diverse im/migrant and refugee experiences and exposes how gender ideologies and practices organize migrant citizenship, in its various dimensions, at the local, national and transnational levels. The volume contributes to theoretical debates on gender, migration and citizenship and provides new insights into their interrelation. It includes case studies that range from the Philippines and Somalia to the Caribbean and from Australasia to Canada and Britain.
