Gender and Mobility: A Critical Introduction baixar o livro de graça

Our world is characterized by mobility and understanding the human experience of movement as a global phenomenon is a key component to interpreting the politics of today. This accessible textbook navigates global mobilities from the perspective of interdisciplinary gender studies, critically engaging with the ways in which gender together with race, class, nationality and sexuality construct and shape globally mobile lives. Compelling readers to engage with the lived experiences of people on the move and analyse the politics shaping individual trajectories of migration, this book will aid the practice of asking questions, problematize and, most importantly, to think about gender and mobility in a global context. This focus on particular migration trajectories enables to see how global politics concretizes in lived experience and how individuals navigate their own lives and identities in challenging circumstances. Each chapter reflects on a particular perspective in feminist research towards gender and global mobilities, and includes case studies and discussion points ideal for classroom use.
