Organized around the broad themes of women's labor, community activity, and identity as their organizing concept, Women, Gender, and Diasporic Lives intersects these issues with the concerns of ethnicity, class, generation, and masculinity. The country-specific case studies reveal women's intentionality and agency in labor, in building community institutions, and in negotiating and re-defining their identities. The broad range of contributor backgrounds make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in gender, diaspora, labor, or modern Greek studies
