This book is the first to address the relationship between gender
and immigration in contemporary France and the political and
personal issues that affect women of immigrant origin. Focusing on
the social and political aspects of women's lives, the book
investigates how they are affected by racism and changes in
citizenship laws and explores the strategies they use to combat
exclusion through movements such as the 'sans-papiers'.
Authors go on to discuss ways in which immigrant women and their
daughters negotiate their changing cultural identities in relation
to their communities of origin and their positions in France, with
reference to the Magrebhi family and attitudes to the Islamic
headscarf.
These issues are further developed through analyses of women's
cultural production across a wide range of media, from the writing
of Vietnamese women to 'Beur' Filmmaking, including Yamina
Benguigui's highly acclaimed documentary Memoires d'Immigres.
Combining a range of case studies and practical data with a
theoretical overview of the topic, this is an important reference
work for anyone studying postcolonial France and the role of women
within it.
