Description
FEMINISMS AND MIGRATIONS
Book Summary
This collective work addresses the growing feminization of migratory processes from a critical and multidisciplinary perspective. Through a dialogue between the academic world, politics, and civil society, the book analyzes how migrant women and their children face spaces of opportunity, oppression, and exclusion in transnational contexts. Emerging from the II International Symposium on Feminism and Development, the volume offers theoretical and practical tools to rethink cooperation and development policies through a feminist lens.
What is it about?
The book examines the new mobile, provisional, and unstable territories generated by contemporary migrations, focusing on the experience of women. It explores how these border and transnational spaces are simultaneously scenes of diffuse opportunities and oppression over the bodies, minds, and spirits of migrants. The work is structured into three thematic axes that integrate feminist analysis with international development and cooperation, offering a framework to understand and act on the challenges posed by this global reality.
