The Oxford Handbook of Intersectional Approaches to Migration, Gender, and Sexuality

Omtale

The Oxford Handbook of Intersectional Approaches to Migration, Gender, and Sexuality provides a comprehensive guide to rethinking gender, migration, and sexuality through an intersectional lens. It creates an opportunity for epistemological dialogues on those issues across disciplines and geographies. The Handbook presents interpretations and applications of intersectional migration research in political science, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies. It engages with scholarship across the globe, highlighting diverse approaches to intersectionality and moving beyond Eurocentric frameworks. In doing so, the Handbook examines how a broad range of identities shape and stratify social interactions and mobility, offering a more diverse, contextual understanding of the complexities of migration research and experiences. The Handbook demonstrates a commitment to intersectional and decolonial approaches, acknowledging an intellectual debt to Black feminist scholars and taking a global perspective on intersectionality and migration. The volume emphasizes sexuality as a crucial yet overlooked dimension shaping migration experiences, governance, and integration. It expands conceptualizations of gender to include analyses of male immigrant's experiences and provides evidence of how migration interrelates with masculinities and queerness from a global perspective. It contributes a global and transnational perspective to the field of migration studies, enriching our understanding of migration, gender, and sexuality's complex interactions.
