Gender and Migration in Italy

Migratory flows to Italy offer a unique perspective showing not only the way migration has changed specific features of the country but also how migration is intertwined with gender relations. The contributors take an empirical and theoretical approach and consider a broad selection of topics, showing both the type of migration that has affected Italy and the consequent measures adopted by the Government. The volume underlines both the multifaceted problems affecting migrant women in Italy and the way in which questions raised in other countries are introduced and redefined by Italian scholarship.
