Beskrivning

Women of the Diaspora: Generational Transformations offers fresh insights into the experiences of women who migrated in the aftermath of World War Two.The contributors examine migration not just as a geographical shift but as a deeply economic, psychological, and intercultural journey—one that profoundly reshaped women’s identities and understandings of ethnicity. The volume also explores the lives of the next generation—daughters of diasporic migrants—whose experiences are shaped by a constant negotiation between the cultural traditions of their parents and the values of their new homelands.

This curated collection offers a timely and critical contribution to feminist approaches to diaspora studies, highlighting the multiple challenges and difficulties that diasporic women face, including racism and oppressive patriarchal norms. Building on extremely rich ethnographic and autoethnographic data, the authors invite us to consider diasporic women’s stories in their diversity and complexity, highlighting the importance of intersectional approaches for understanding how and when they can exercise their agency. This collection will be of immense interest to scholars working at the intersection of gender and diaspora studies.
