Opis

This volume combines transnational, intersectional and cultural-sociological perspectives to analyze patterns, contexts and mechanisms of cross-border inequalities. The theory developed is illustrated by empirical research on migrations in Europe, specifically on recent migrations between Ukraine and Germany, as paradigmatic processes for the st

Recenzje

Transnationalizing Inequalities in Europe is a highly original volume that builds on theories of globalization, transnationalization, spatialization, boundaries, and intersectionality to examine cross-border social inequalities. Whilst focused on transnational migration, mobility, and post-migration settlement, and using case studies between Ukraine and Germany, the book has much wider application elsewhere, and much wider relevance for the many other transnational processes. As such, and in raising key practical questions for doing transnational research, it should have a strong impact as a landmark text.

Transnationalizing Inequalities offers its readers an original and highly productive dialogue between cultural sociology, intersectional theory and poststructuralist thought. It uses this conversation to make new sense of pressing questions of inequality across Europe’s fluid borders. Amelina’s thinking is as sharp as the inequalities she maps, and as subtle as some of the mechanisms of power she uncovers.

Theorists of social inequality have often been criticized for their inability to overcome methodological nationalism, an approach that treats the nation state as most important category of analysis. Anna Amelina’s book is a pioneering, outstanding work which takes up these challenges and presents new theoretical tools for investigating the transnationalization of social inequalities in the 21^st century from an intersectional perspective. A must read for students and scholars of migration- gender- and social inequality studies.
