This timely Companion traces the interlinking histories of
globalisation, gender, and migration in the 21st century, setting
up a completely new agenda beyond Western research production.
Natalia Ribas-Mateos and Saskia Sassen bring together 27 incisive
contributions from leading international experts on gender and
global migration, uncovering the multitude of economies, histories,
families and working cultures in which local, regional, national,
and global economies are embedded. Examining recent migratory flows
and changing migration corridors across the globe, the Companion
offers critical insights into the wider dynamics that compel people
to migrate. Chapters address key topics relating to gender and
global migration, from global cities and border regions, internal
displacements, and humanitarian risks, to the changing face of care
chains and labour, pandemic mobilities, expulsions from climate
change and the weight of critical historical colonial studies in
contemporary feminisms. The volume further explores extractivism,
colonial images, the agrifood industry, qualified labour,
remittances, cross-border trade, and extreme violence. Advancing a
compelling range of forward-looking perspectives, this dynamic
Companion establishes a novel agenda for future research on gender
and global migration. Integrating empirical case studies with
cutting-edge theory, The Elgar Companion to Gender and Global
Migration will be an invaluable resource for a multidisciplinary
audience of scholars across sociology, anthropology, geography,
economics and political science, as well as migration and gender
studies. Its themes will also be of significant interest to
policymakers, administrators and grassroots organisations involved
in emerging topics in migration studies.
Drawing on the concept of the 'politics of compassion', this
Handbook interrogates the political, geopolitical, social and
anthropological processes which produce and govern borders and give
rise to contemporary border violence. Chapters map different
aspects of structural violence and mobilities in some of the
world's most contentious border zones, highlighting the forms and
practices that connect with labour exploitation, legal exclusion
and a severe absence of human rights. International
interdisciplinary contributors, including renowned sociologist
Saskia Sassen, draw attention to the forms and spaces of resistance
available to migrants and activists, contemplating how advocates
attempt to provide protection and human security to those subjected
to border violence. Offering empirical analyses of critical border
spaces, the book covers extensively the US-Mexico border region and
border zones around the Mediterranean. Border issues in South,
Central and North America, Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, the
Middle East, Central Africa and East and Central Asia are also
discussed. The Handbook thus provides a truly transnational
approach to borders and migration, demonstrating the dynamic but
asymmetric relationship between the social structure of border
enforcement and the human agency of migrants and global activists.
Combining theoretical insights into structural violence and human
rights with key case studies of border zones, this comprehensive
Handbook is crucial reading for scholars and researchers of social
and political science investigating human migration, the
humanitarian, border control and human rights. Its practical
insights will also benefit policy-makers involved in borders and
migration, as well as advocates and NGOs working with migrants and
refugees to create secure environments.
The highly unique International Handbook on Gender, Migration and
Transnationalism represents a state-of-the-art review of the
critical importance of the links between gender and migration in a
globalizing world. It draws on original, largely field-based
contributions by authors across a range of disciplinary provenances
worldwide.This unprecedented and ambitious Handbook addresses core
debates on issues of gender, migration, transnationalism and
development from a migration-development nexus. The volume explores
the influence of global changes - and more specifically
transnational migration flows - from the perspective of the
articulation of production and reproduction chains. Particular
attention is paid to so-called 'global care chains' with new
analytical models developed around the emerging trends played out
by women in contemporary mobility dynamics. This pathbreaking
Handbook will provide a thought-provoking resource for a
multidisciplinary audience of academics, researchers and students
of social science disciplines encompassing: economics, sociology,
geography, demography, political science and political sociology,
migration studies, family and gender studies, and labour markets.
The Handbook will also be of major interest and importance to local
and national governments, international agencies and their
policymakers and administrators. Contributors: E. Acosta, J.D.

The Mediterranean in the Age of Globalization is a welcome
corrective to the tendency to present globalization as a homogenous
concept, and the failure to describe how it operates in specific
regions. Ribas-Mateos examines globalization and migration across
the Mediterranean, using an innovative, integrated framework so as
to map social places by describing how social, political, cultural,
and economic forces are embedded within a globalizing
environment.The author articulates an original and compelling
narrative, mapping the Mediterranean as a global place where
international and regional forces are intertwined in multiple
threads. In doing so, she identifies two key components of
globalization--affecting specifically forms of welfare and issues
of mobility--in the context of a weakening European welfare state
and the relocation and reinforcement of Mediterranean borders. Nine
Mediterranean cities are investigated as "gateway" cities, which
shape two major effects of globalization: welfare and mobility. The
book challenges conventional North-South perspectives, and focuses
and systematizes the way international migration should be
conceptualized.The originality of the book results from the
author's fieldwork, which is rich in descriptive detail, and from a
theory centered around global perspectives. Seven case studies in
Southern Europe--Algeciras, Athens, Barcelona, Lisbon, Naples,
Turin, and Thrace--deal with issues related to migration and the
welfare state. She also includes two ethnographies that represent
two Mediterranean gateways in the North-South Mediterranean
division: Tangiers (in Morocco) and Durres (in Albania), which are
mapped as border-cities in the global Mediterranean context.
Because of its intrinsically multidisciplinary nature, this superb
volume will be of particular interest to academics and social
science researchers as well as policymakers and international
agencies.

Confronting questions of globalization, mobilities and space in the
Mediterranean, and more specifically in the eastern Mediterranean,
this book introduces a new type of complexity and ambiguity to the
study of the global. In this theoretical frame an increasingly
urban articulation of global logics and struggles, and an
escalating use of urban space to make political claims, not only by
citizens but also by foreigners, can be found. By emphasizing the
interplay between global, regional and local phenomena, the book
examines new forms and conditions, such as the transformation of
borders, the reconfiguration of transnational communities, the
agency of transnational families, new mobilities and diasporas, and
transnational networks of humanitarian response. The contributions
from a variety of disciplines demonstrate that the reconfiguration
of mobilities and the accompanying problem of inhospitable politics
towards refugees at different levels, as well as humanitarian
responses to it, is one of the major impacts, globally speaking, of
the Arab Spring. Through the reconfiguration of such new mobilities
there is an urgency to properly map the space of the many
trajectories of those transnational connections. The editor
concludes that there is, however, great difficulty in doing so as
it is constantly disconnected by new arrivals, constantly waiting
to be determined by the configuration and reconfiguration of both
historical and contemporary relations. This exploration of
migration, mobilities and the Arab Spring, is essential reading for
scholars across a multitude of disciplines. The book's themes are
of major interest and importance for policymakers and
administrators at national and international levels. Contributors
