Routledge - Gender and International Migration in Europe Book

Explore the complex relationship between gender and migration through this scholarly work from Routledge. Gender and International Migration in Europe provides a necessary perspective on how contemporary migration theories often overlook gendered dimensions. As the European Union works toward equal opportunities, this text examines how restrictionist immigration policies and racism can limit the autonomy and choices available to migrant women. This book analyzes how globalization and shifting state policies regarding employment and welfare continue to drive a demand for diverse, gendered forms of immigration. By examining the policies of both individual states and the European Union, the authors provide a deep look at immigration control and family dynamics. This is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in the intersection of sociology, politics, and migration studies.
