Description
The Elgar Companion to Gender and Global Migration: Beyond Western Research is a groundbreaking edited collection that examines the critical relationship between gender and migration on a global scale. Edited by leading scholars Natalia Ribas-Mateos and Saskia Sassen, this work moves beyond traditional Western frameworks to center diverse voices and experiences from the Global South and other marginalized regions.
The companion addresses how gender shapes migration patterns, including labor migration, refugee movements, and transnational family dynamics. Contributors explore topics such as women migrant workers, gender-based violence, economic vulnerability, and agency in migration processes. The collection challenges conventional narratives and provides nuanced analysis of how intersecting identities including gender, race, class, and nationality influence migration experiences.
Published by Edward Elgar Publishing, this essential resource is invaluable for scholars, policymakers, and students studying migration, gender studies, international development, and human rights. It represents a significant contribution to understanding contemporary global migration through a gender-centered, non-Western perspective.
