The decision to emigrate has historically held differing
promises and costs for women and for men. Exploring theories of
difference in labor market participation, network formation and the
immigrant organising process, on belonging and diaspora, and a
theory of 'vulnerability, ' A Global History of Gender and
Migration looks critically at two centuries of the migration
experience from the perspectives of women and men separately and
together.
Uniquely investigating the subject globally over time, this book
incorporates the history of migration in areas as far-flung as
Yemen, Sudan, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Poland, the Soviet
Union, the US, and the UK, an approach that allows for patterns to
emerge over time. A Global History of Gender and Migration further
shows that although there are various points on which migrant men
and women differ, and several theories exist to explain these
differences, this comprehensive guide offers a unifying thesis on
the theories and practice of migration, adding to our insight into
the mechanisms underlying the creation of differences between
migrant men and women.
