At the turn of the new millenium, war, political oppression,
desperate poverty, environmental degradation and disasters, and
economic underdevelopment are sharply increasing the ranks of the
world's twenty million forced migrants. In this volume, eighteen
scholars provide a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary look beyond the
statistics at the experiences of the women, men, girls, and boys
who comprise this global flow, and at the highly gendered forces
that frame and affect them. In theorizing gender and forced
migration, these authors present a set of descriptively rich,
gendered case studies drawn from around the world on topics ranging
from international human rights, to the culture of aid, to the
complex ways in which women and men envision displacement and
resettlement.
"Altogether, this volume has a great deal to offer any reader
concerned with the global scenario of armed conflict, environmental
stress, large-scale displacement, and the desperate search for
security." . Signs At the turn of the new millenium, war, political
