Based on the oral histories of eighty migrant women and thirty
additional interviews with 'native' women in the 'receiving'
countries, this volume documents the contemporary phenomenon of the
feminisation of migration through an exploration of the lives of
women, who have moved from Bulgaria and Hungary to Italy and the
Netherlands. It assumes migrants to be active subjects, creating
possibilities and taking decisions in their own lives, as well as
being subject to legal and political regulation, and the book
analyses the new forms of subjectivity that come about through
mobility. Part I is a largely conceptual exploration of
subjectivity, mobility and gender in Europe. The chapters in Part
II focus on love, work, home, communication, and food, themes which
emerged from the migrant women's accounts. In Part III, based on
the interviews with 'native' women - employers, friends, or in
associations relevant to migrant women - the chapters analyse their
representations of migrants, and the book goes on to explore forms
of intersubjectivity between European women of different cultural
origins. A major contribution of this book is to consider how the
movement of people across Europe is changing the cultural and
social landscape with implications for how we think about what
Europe means. Cover image: Painting by Carla Accardi. Reproduced
