This timely Companion traces the interlinking histories of globalisation, gender, and migration in the 21st century, setting up a completely new agenda beyond Western research production. Saskia Sassen and Natalia Ribas-Mateos bring together 27 incisive contributions from leading international experts on gender and global migration, uncovering the multitude of economies, histories, families and working cultures in which local, regional, national, and global economies are embedded. Examining recent migratory flows and changing migration corridors across the globe, the Companion offers critical insights into the wider dynamics that compel people to migrate. Chapters address key topics relating to gender and global migration, from global cities and border regions, internal displacements, and humanitarian risks, to the changing face of care chains and labour, pandemic mobilities, expulsions from climate change and the weight of colonialism in postcolonial feminism. The volume further explores extractivism, colonial images, the agrifood industry, qualified labour, remittances, cross border trade, and extreme violence. Advancing a compelling range of forward-looking perspectives, this dynamic Companion establishes a novel agenda for future research on gender and global migration. Integrating empirical case studies with cutting-edge theory, The Elgar Companion to Gender and Global Migration will be an invaluable resource for a multidisciplinary audience of scholars across sociology, geography, economics and political science, as well as migration and gender studies. Its themes will also be of significant interest to policymakers, administrators and grassroots organisations involved in migration.
