Women Migration & Citizenship
E. Tastsoglou

Given the recent and rapid changes to migration patterns and citizenship processes, this volume provides a timely, compelling, empirical and 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 rich case studies that range from the Philippines and Somalia to the Caribbean and from Australasia to Canada and Britain. Designed to have a multidisciplinary appeal, it is suitable for courses on migration, diversity, gender, race, ethnicity, law and public policy, comparative politics and international relations.'This edited collection performs a remarkable feat: by examining a rich array of case studies simultaneously through three lenses - gender, migration and citizenship - the contributors not only elucidate complex elements of their individual topics, but also expose and sharpen facets of each analytical lens...theoretical sophistication, methodological precision and nuanced analysis...' Audrey Macklin, University of Toronto, Canada '...rich cases demonstrate the agency of (im)migrant women as they negotiate citizenship and belonging in multiple arenas (political, economic, social and psychological) and at multiple levels (global, national and local). This groundbreaking collection is important for scholars across social science disciplines.' Yasmeen Abu-Laban, University of Alberta, Canada 'Combining theory with well researched case studies, the authors of this excellent multidisciplinary volume raise key questions and offer important insights on the complexity of im/migrant women's experiences. They challenge us to rethink the subject of im/migrant women and citizenship in new ways.' Margaret Abraham, Hofstra University, USA
