This is the first comprehensive socio-legal study of the
interrelation between gender and the law of refugee status. In the
past decade, the issue has received increasing attention in
academic writing, the media and the courtroom. This book contains
an interdisciplinary analysis. The empirical data, collected for
this study and not published previously, concerns Dutch asylum
practice. The Netherlands is a prominent refugee-receiving country
in Europe, yet hardly any English texts address Dutch refugee law.
The book also covers foreign case law and academic writing.
Therefore, the analysis is relevant for all refugee-receiving
countries in the Western world; the empirical data on The
Netherlands functions as a case study. The book combines
perspectives of post-structuralist feminism and post-colonial
studies. Refugee women are constructed as a double other. This
intersectionality is related to the construction of the Third World
as feminine (passive, in need of active outside intervention etc.,
etc.). The book provides a comprehensive overview of academic
writing and of case law on the subject. On this basis of
theoretical perspectives that were almost ignored until now, it
develops an innovative critique of refugee law discourse and
outlines its possible consequences for legal doctrine.
