Migration and Mobility in an Enlarged Europe: A Gender Perspective. This item is unavailable.Migration and Mobility in an Enlarged Europe: A Gender Perspective

The book investigates transnational migration and mobility of women from and within Central-Eastern European countries. It looks at women’s practices and experiences mostly in the service sector where they are in demand as substitutes in stereotypically „women’s work“. The book combines different perspectives: sociological and anthropological studies, comparative policy analysis and historical and statistical evidence and provides new insights into current theoretical debates in migration and gender studies.
