Riassunto

This volume studies the patterns of migration among Asian women, focusing particularly on poverty and the attendant issues of powerlessness that mediate women's experiences of migration. The contributors engage with perspectives that give a determining role to economic structures and reduce migration to a passive response, and closely examine the complex layers of needs, networks, and choices that are available in poverty-driven migration.

Recensione

The issues covered are complex and challenging at the same time, filling the void in literature on the subject in various respects. What impresses the reader is the good editing, elaborate notes given at the end of each paper and an elaborate list of references (and further readings). The papers have balanced information collected and presented in qualitative terms as well as, most fitting for subjective topics such as this. The authors are drawn from a range or blend of social scientists, thereby adding to the inter-disciplinarity of the compendium. Needless to emphasise, the papers serve the purpose for which they have been published, i.e., inspiring further research and contemplation on a relatively less explored vista of gender studies. The book, therefore, is a necessary reading for all those concerned: academicians, researchers, policy makers and activists. Series editor as well as the volume editors deserves congratulation on bringing out the indispensable volume/s on the subject of gender and migration.
