- Description
- This volume studies the new migratory flows among Asian women, focusing particularly on poverty and the attendant issues of powerlessness that mediate women’s migration. While gender provides the conceptual tool for mapping differential experiences of social reality the book unravels the complex layers of needs, networks and choices that come into play in poverty-driven migration. In this framework, the issue of 'voluntariness' of migration is repeatedly interrogated

- Description
- Nearly one billion people, one-sixt of the worlds population have little or no schooling, and women and girls comprise nearly two-thirds of this total. This book provides an analysis of the historical, sociological, political and philosophical issues involved and examines actions taken by governments, inter-government organisations, NGOs and women's groups since 1990 to combat this injustice. The first part of the book provides a background to the history of the provision of schooling for girls worldwide since 1945 and locates the challenges of gender inequality in education. The second part examines different views as to why questions of gender and schooling should be addressed globally, contrasting arguments based on human capital theorie, tights and capabilities. The third part analyses how policies are implemented.

- Description
- 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.

- Description
- In the 1980s, Italy transformed from a country of emigration to one of immigration. Italians are now faced daily with the presence of migrants from all over Africa, parts of South and Central America, the Middle East, Asia, and Eastern Europe. In An Alliance of Women, Heather Merrill investigates how migrants and Italians struggle over meanings and negotiate social and cultural identities. Taking as a starting point the Italian crisis over immigration in the early 1990s, Merrill examines grassroots interethnic spatial politics among female migrants and Turin feminists in Northern Italy. Using rich ethnographic material, she traces the emergence of Alma Mater—an anti-racist organization formed to address problems encountered by migrant women. Through this analysis, Merrill reveals the dynamics of an alliance consisting of women from many countries of origin and religious and class backgrounds. Highlighting an interdisciplinary approach to migration and the instability of group identities in contemporary Italy, An Alliance of Women presents migrants grappling with spatialized boundaries amid growing nativist and anti-immigrant sentiment in Western Europe.
