Gendered journeys : women, migration and feminist psychology

Responding to the flux of migration that has swept across the globe, this authoritative and dynamic collection of scholarship aims to address the question: What about the women? The chapters explain why women's experiences of migration are necessary and worthy of scholarly feminist psychological attention, examining women's experiences in and of themselves, not simply as members of a family unit. With topics including memory, language, work, violence, motherhood, and intergenerational impacts of migration, this collection provides a feminist analytical lens through which not only gender, but its intersections with race, ethnicity, class, age, culture, sexuality and other socio-historical/context factors are brought into clearer focus. Accessible to a wide readership, this unique body of scholarship extends and complicates existing conversations on migration.
