Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"The book is a well-written and timely addition to the growing body of literature on gender and migration, extending the analysis to include feminist practice and the challenges that this poses. The depth of the material in this volume, particularly on the contradictions and complexities of migration, will appeal to feminist and migration scholars, as well as activists involved in migrants' and women's groups." (Nikki Dunne, Gender & Development, Vol. 21 (2), 2013)
