Provocative and intellectually challenging, Gender and Migration critically analyses how gender has been taken up in studies of migration and its theories, practices and effects. Each essay uses feminist frameworks to highlight how more traditional tropes of gender eschew the complexities of gender and migration.

'This edited volume offers a comprehensive review of compelling issues facing women “on the move” and those who accompany them in “receiving countries”. It discusses many of the “gaps” in basic services which all too frequently fail to offer basic necessities required by international conventions to which these countries are signators. The authors draw on critical legal studies and feminist theory to expose the complex interplay between cultural and universal principles that inform refugee and asylum policies and practices. As importantly the text offers a framework for analyzing post 9/11 securitization and surveillance and its implications for women globally. Authors critically interrogate the all too frequent tendencies of those, including feminists, who homogenize and universalize the diversities of migrants' experiences, failing to understand their particularities, how racism constrains many of their options and how power circulates in oppressive and liberating ways as they engage their transnational families and communities. The book is theoretically dense yet accessible, empirically sound, cutting new ground in problematizing the use of visual resources with non-literate or informally educated women – identifying the camera's empowering possibilities while cautioning against its use as an instrument of surveillance in the hands of the state and well-intended researchers. This is a must-read for anyone in the ever-widening fields of international relations and migration studies.'

'All fixed, fast frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away and we are at last compelled to face with sober senses our real condition of life and our relations with our kind. Reading this book you think that this is, what the authors want. They doubt every concept and its opposition. In fact they question the whole way of the organization of concepts in their field of research and since they rely on empirical facts they challenge the whole research in gender and migration as well as their political consequences. Reading this book, which is highly recommended, you are swept into postcolonial countries as well as into the old heart of Europe and you will necessarily loose the sense of innocence and neutrality in relation to your own thinking and conceptualizing.'

This original collection brings a feminist, intersectional and interdisciplinary lens to question the seemingly innocuous ‘and’ in discussions of gender and migration. Organised around themes of visibility, vulnerability, violence and credibility, the book represents an important conceptual and political engagement that should be required reading for everyone interested in contemporary power and injustice. Highly recommended.
