Gender and Migration

'Covering a range of topics, from the composition of migration flows to the impact of immigration policies and relations in immigrant families, this illuminating book makes clear the need to bring gender fully into the study of migration. A well-written, clear, and thoughtful overview that will be a valuable resource for students and scholars alike.'
Nancy Foner, Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York
 
'In thoughtful, careful, and rigorous manner, Brettell has assembled a significant and illuminating account that expands our understanding of the centrality of gender to the migratory process over time and space. It is encyclopedic in nature and an essential resource for anyone interested in immigration, gender, or both.'
Cecilia Menjívar, University of Kansas
