From its beginnings in the 1970s and 1980s, interest in the topic
of gender and migration has grown. Gender and Migration seeks to
introduce the most relevant sociological theories of gender
relations and migration that consider ongoing transnationalization
processes, at the beginning of the third millennium. These include
intersectionality, queer studies, social inequality theory and the
theory of transnational migration and citizenship; all of which are
brought together and illustrated by means of various empirical
examples. With its explicit focus on the gendered structures of
migration-sending and migration-receiving countries, Gender and
Migration builds on the most current conceptual tool of gender
studies-intersectionality-which calls for collective research on
gender with analysis of class, ethnicity/race, sexuality, age and
other axes of inequality in the context of transnational migration
and mobility. The book also includes descriptions of a number of
recommended films that illustrate transnational migrant
masculinities and femininities within and outside of Europe. A
refreshing attempt to bring in considerations of queer theory and
sexual identity in the area of gender migration studies, this
insightful volume will appeal to students and researchers
interested in fields such as sociology, social anthropology,
political science, intersectional studies and transnational
migration.
Intersectionality is one of the most popular theoretical paradigms
in gender studies and feminist theory today. Initially developed to
explore how gender and race interact in the experiences of US women
of colour, it has since been taken up in different disciplines and
national contexts, where it is used to investigate a wide range of
intersecting social identities and experiences of exclusion and
subordination. This volume explores intersectionality studies as a
burgeoning international field with a growing body of research,
which is increasingly drawn upon in policy, political
interventions, and social activism. Bringing together contributors
from different disciplines and locations, The Routledge
International Handbook of Intersectionality Studies maps the
history and travels of intersectionality between continents and
countries and takes up debates surrounding the privileged role of
race in intersectional analysis, the ways in which intersectional
analysis should or should not be carried out, and the political
implications of thinking intersectional analysis and thought.
Opening up new avenues of enquiry for a future generation of
scholars and practitioners, it will appeal to scholars of
sociology, gender studies, politics, and cultural studies with
interests in feminist thought, social identity, social exclusion,
and social inequality.
Domestic work has become highly relevant on a local and global
scale. Until a decade ago, domestic workers were rare in European
households; today they can be found working for middle-class
families and single people, for double or single parents as well as
for the elderly. Performing the three C's - cleaning, caring and
cooking - domestic workers offer their woman power on a global
market which Europe has become part of. This global market is now
considered the largest labour market for women world wide and it
has triggered the feminization of migration. This volume brings
together contributions by European and US based researchers to look
at the connection between migration and domestic work on an
empirical and theoretical level. The contributors elaborate on the
phenomenon of 'domestic work' in late modern societies by
discussing different methodological and theoretical approaches in
an interdisciplinary setting. The volume also looks at the gendered
aspects of domestic work; it asks why the re-introduction of
domestic workers in European households has become so popular and
will argue that this phenomenon is challenging gender theories.
This is a timely book and will be of interest to academics and
students in the fields of migration, gender and European studies.
Originally conceived by Kimberle Crenshaw in 1989 as a tool for the
analysis of the ways in which different forms of social inequality,
oppression and discrimination interact and overlap in
multidimensional ways, the concept of 'intersectionality' has
attracted much attention in international feminist debates over the
last decade. Framing Intersectionality brings together proponents
and critics of the concept, to discuss the 'state of the art' with
those that have been influential in the debates that surround it.
Engaging with the historical roots of intersectionality in the
US-based 'race-class-gender' debate, this book also considers the
European adoption of this concept in different national contexts,
to explore issues such as migration, identity, media coverage of
sexual violence against men and transnational livelihoods of high
and low skilled migrants. Thematically arranged around the themes
of the transatlantic migration of intersectionality, the
development of intersectionality as a theory, men's studies and
masculinities, and the body and embodiment, this book draws on
empirical case studies as well as theoretical deliberations to
investigate the capacity and the sustainability of the concept and
shed light on the current state of intersectionality research.
Presenting the latest work from a team of leading feminist scholars
from the US and Europe, Framing Intersectionality will be of
interest to all those with interests in gender, women's studies,
masculinity, inequalities and feminist thought.

This volume introduces a gender dimension and provides new insights
in the issues like nationalism and racism, identity building,
transnational networking, citizenship and democracy.

Recent migration in Europe has a whole range of characteristics
which are said to distinguish it from earlier migration, and the
description 'new migration' is often used. Based on a wide range of
empirical case studies of the new migration, this book asks three
critical questions. To what extent is the description 'new'
conceptually valid? How is the new migration defined and by whom?
How is the new migration experienced by migrants themselves?
This collection of essays examines the historical influence of
states in East Asia's political economies, and considers their
contributions to the ongoing social, economic and political
transformation of the countries in this region. They show that the
status of these so-called developmental states have evolved over
time, and that their role and capacity have been significantly
related to the social bases and cultural roots of the relevant
countries.

Dieser Band bietet einen umfassenden Einblick in die grosse
thematische, methodische und methodologische Breite und Tiefe der
Biographieforschung und prasentiert einen UEberblick uber die
verschiedenen Theorien, Ansatze und Forschungsfelder.
Die hier versammelten Beitrage spiegeln den aktuellen Stand der
Debatte um Intersektionalitat 20 Jahre nach Pragung des Begriffes
im Schwarzen Feminismus in den USA. Bei seiner transatlantischen
Reise durchlief der Ansatz Metamorphosen und fiel in Europa auf
vorbereiteten Boden, insbesondere in anglophonen und
deutschsprachigen feministischen Diskursen. Klasse, Geschlecht,
Ethnizitat und Rasse, Sexualitat, Behinderung, Alter und andere
Dimensionen von Ungleichheit und Identitat werden inzwischen in
intersektioneller Perspektive untersucht. In diesem Band wird der
Ansatz vorgestellt und in transdisziplinare und transnationale
Analyseperspektiven wie Diskurstheorie, Biographieforschung,
Wissenssoziologie, Rahmenanalyse und Sozialstrukturanalyse
eingesetzt, erganzt um kritische Interventionen zu Problemen und
Grenzen dieses Konzepts. Mit Beitragen von Mechtild Bereswill,
Kimberle Crenshaw, Kathy Davis, Jeff Hearn, Gudrun-Axeli Knapp,
Kira Kosnick, Gail Lewis, Helma Lutz, Nina Lykke, Myra Marx Ferree,
Anke Neuber, Ann Phoenix, Paula Irene Villa, Nira Yuval Davis, und
Dubravka Zarkov."
Die Biographieforschung bietet ein Forum, in dem interdisziplinar
und mit vielfaltigen Methoden geforscht wird. Dabei erschliessen
sich oft neue Forschungsfelder, und es entstehen im Diskurs mit
anderen Theorien, Methoden und Disziplinen neue Verknupfungen und
Perspektiven. Der Band versammelt AutorInnen aus der deutschen und
internationalen Biographieforschung, die die Anschlussfahigkeit der
Biographieforschung reflektieren.

"The New Maids" is a pioneering book, grounded on rich, empirical
evidence, which examines the relationship between globalization,
transnationalism, gender and the care economy. Expertly addressing
the thorny questions that surround the increasing number of migrant
domestic workers and cleaners, child-carers and caregivers who
maintain modern Western households, the author argues that domestic
work plays the defining role in global ethnic and gender
hierarchies. Using a central ethnographic study of immigrant
domestic workers and their German employees as its starting point,
"The New Maids" uses the voices of such women themselves to provide
unique conceptual and evidential support for this vital new
approach argument. This exciting book will not only enhance the
readers understanding of the new care-economy; it is also sets
standards for feminist global methodology.
