OverviewFrom its beginnings in the 1970s and 1980s, interest in the topic of gender and migration has grown. Gender and Migration seeks to introduce the most relevant sociological theories of gender relations and migration that consider ongoing transnationalization processes, at the beginning of the third millennium. These include intersectionality, queer studies, social inequality theory and the theory of transnational migration and citizenship; all of which are brought together and illustrated by means of various empirical examples. With its explicit focus on the gendered structures of migration-sending and migration-receiving countries, Gender and Migration builds on the most current conceptual tool of gender studies—intersectionality—which calls for collective research on gender with analysis of class, ethnicity/race, sexuality, age and other axes of inequality in the context of transnational migration and mobility. The book also includes descriptions of a number of recommended films that illustrate transnational migrant masculinities and femininities within and outside of Europe. A refreshing attempt to bring in considerations of queer theory and sexual identity in the area of gender migration studies, this insightful volume will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as sociology, social anthropology, political science, intersectional studies and transnational migration.

Both critical and engaging, it not only provides an overview of debates in the field but also contributes theoretically to the area and its development, as well as making a broader contribution to the sociology of migration, to gender studies and to intersectionality. -Floya Anthias, Professor of Sociology and Social Justice (Emeritus), University of Roehampton, London Making sense of transnational mobility and gender, this timely textbook breaks new ground by pushing us to take a closer look at the interstices of cross-border structures and practices in burgeoning fields such as (post-)migration, care and citizenship studies. The magisterial gender- and inequality-sensitive framework provided by the authors successfully connects the various strands of existing research, and thus opens a space for lively discussion between adherents and skeptics of various approaches. -Thomas Faist, Professor of Sociology of Transnationalization, Migration and Development, Bielefeld University Using an intersectional lens to explore key issues of migration as a fundamentally gendered process, this book breaks new ground in the study of transnationalism, care, and citizenship. A unique feature of the book is the final chapter on teaching the intersections of gender, migration, and transnationality through the imaginative use of film. -Russell King, Professor of Geography, University of Sussex Gender, for long a neglected dimension of the migration experience, has been increasingly discussed in the recent literature. Never, however, had this resulted in such a clear and exhaustive overview.
