A Feminist Exploration of Migration - A Critical Cosmopolitan Care Approach

This book provides a twofold critique of mainstream political theory, drawing on feminisms to develop a more comprehensive understanding of migration. Grounded in both a critical cosmopolitan approach and the ethics and politics of care, the book shows what a feminist approach to migration would look like. The author focuses on migrants perspectives and places ideas around dispossession and exclusion at the centre of the argument. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners who seek to understand the relationship between migration and gendered human experiences.
