This book endeavours to take the conceptualisation of the
relationship between transnational remittance exchanges and gender
to a new level. Thus, inevitably, it provides a number of case
studies of relationships between gender and remittances from around
the world, highlighting different processes and practises. Thereby
the authors seek to understand the impact of remittances on gender
and gender relations, both at the sending as well as at the
receiving end. For each case study authors ask how remittances
affect gender identities and relationships but also vice versa. By
itself this already adds a wealth of insights to a field that is
remarkably understudied despite a volume of studies on gender and
the feminization of migration in developing contexts. Chapters take
an open, explorative approach to the relationship between gender
and remittance behaviour with the aid of case studies focusing on
transnational flows between migrants and countries of origin. With
the wide variety of cases this book is able to provide conceptual
insights to better understand how remittances affect gender
identity, roles and relations (at both the receiving and sending
end) and give specific attention to the roles of various actors
directly and indirectly involved in remittance sending in current
collectively organized remittance schemes from around the world.
