Illegal Migration and Gender in a Global and Historical Perspective (IMISCOE (International Migration, Integration andSocial Cohesion))

This incisive volume combines two important issues in contemporary debates over migration: gender and illegal migration. The authors reconsider migration scholarship through the lens of gender in order to investigate definitions of citizenship and the differences in mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion for men and women. Additionally, through applying an interdisciplinary and comparative historical framework that spans the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the volume also produces a comprehensive account of illegal migration in nations and regions such as the United States, the Middle East, Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Mexico, Malaysia, Pakistan, and the horn of Africa.Review"This innovative collection of case studies from around the world should inspire much discussion and new research on an important and neglected dimension of international migration."

Gabaccia, Professor of History and Director, Immigration History Research Center, University of Minnesota[-][-]"This volume fills a significant gap in the literature on gender and migration through its analysis, historically and spatially, of the varied aspects of gender and the production of illegality."
