Description
Migrations and Mobilities: Citizenship, Borders, and Gender explores the complex relationships between people, borders, and citizenship in an increasingly globalized world. This collection of essays examines how gender shapes our understanding of migration, citizenship, and the meaning of borders.
Contributors from various disciplines come together to consider a range of issues, including workers' rights, children's rights, theories of the nation-state, and obligations under transnational human rights conventions. By reappraising the practices and theories of citizenship in light of gendered migration, this book forces us to reconsider the nature of citizenship in the contemporary, transnational world.
Edited by Seyla Benhabib and Judith Resnik, Migrations and Mobilities is a path-breaking collection that sheds new light on the pivotal role of gender in shaping our understanding of citizenship and borders.
