- Description
- 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.

- Description
- Through a series of case studies of low-status interactive and embodied servicing work, this book examines the theoretical and empirical nature of the shift to embodied work in service-dominated economies. The author defines ‘body work’ to include the work by service sector employees on their own bodies and on the bodies of others. It .sets UK case studies in the context of global patterns of economic change and explores the consequences of growing polarization in the service sector. The book draws on geography, sociology, anthropology, labour market studies, and feminist scholarship

The history of women’s access to occupations of clerical work, printing, hairdressing, hospitals, plan-tracing and artistic trades in the 19th century is outlined. Later the society has concentrated on providing employment advice and study loans. These activities, the people active in the society in the course of its history and the future of the SPEW are presented.
