The World in Motion: Short
Essays on Migration and Gender, by Lauren B. Engle, IOM
International Organization for Migration, 2004, pp. 114, ISBN
978-92-9068-228-8, price: US$ 20.00.
Table of Contents
Introduction * The Feminization of
Migrant Labour * Migrant Remittances * Trafficking in Human Beings *
The Immigration System * Facing Rape in War * Female Genital Cutting
This book looks at migration and selects moments in time, past and
present, through the experience of women. The feminization of
migration, like the feminization of poverty, is a catchphrase.
People use it in an effort to be "gender sensitive"; yet, the term
itself has still to be defined and mainstreamed - much like waiting
for a fuzzy Polaroid photo to develop into a precise image. You wave
it around and slowly shapes begin to take on form and a clear
picture appears.
The books maps out a set of preliminary but common understandings on
issues of importance to migrant women and their advocates, and
further clarify the experience of women across several key themes:
labour migration, migrant remittances, trafficking, immigration and
identification - all of which are key areas of migration studies. It
will also put forward issues such as rape and female circumcision,
key issues of importance to the integration of both forced migrants
and of women who migrate into new cultural norms. Thus, for the
student or practitioner of migration these issues are relevant to
understanding the experience and needs of thousands of women who
find themselves, willing or unwilling, migrants. |
