About the Book

Two issues come to the fore in current debates over migration: illegal migration and the role of gender in illegal migration. This incisive study combines the two subjects and views the migration scholarship through the lens of the gender perspective, investigating definitions of citizenship and the differences in mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion for men and women, producing a comprehensive account of illegal migration in Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, Mexico, Malaysia, the Horn of Africa and the Middle East over the nineteenth- and the twentieth centuries. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

Review :
"This innovative collection of case studies from around the world should inspire much discussion and new research on an important and neglected dimension of international migration." Donna R. Gabaccia, Professor of History and Director, Immigration History Research Center, University of Minnesota "This volume fills a significant gap in the literature on gender and migration through its analysis, historically and spatially, of the varied aspects of gender and the production of illegality." Eleonore Kofman, Professor of Gender, Migration and Citizenship, Middlesex University
