Women, Gender, and Diasporic Lives is an interdisciplinary
collection on women and gender in Greek diaspora communities. Using
a variety of methodologies, including archival research,
ethnography, participant observation, and quantitative analysis,
the eleven contributors present in-depth and highly nuanced
feminist analyses of diverse aspects of Greek diasporic
experiences. The volume's geographical scope spans four continents
(North America, Europe, Australia, Africa) and seven countries
(USA, Canada, Germany, Greece, Australia, Egypt, Ethiopia), and
touches on both contemporary and historical diasporic experiences.
Using the broad themes of women's labor, community activity, and
identity as their organizing concept, the contributors intersect
these issues with the concerns of ethnicity, class, generation, and
masculinity. The country-specific case studies reveal women's
intentionality and agency in labor, in building community
institutions, and in negotiating and re-defining their identities.
The broac range of contributor backgrounds make this book a
valuable resource for anyone interested in gender, diaspora, labor,
or modern Greek studies.
