This book captures the different ways in which independent women of African origin use migration as a means to escape from circumsatnces at their home countries which were adverse to their well-being. Escaping and leaving the familiar behind, these women were exposed to victimisation and discrimation during the apartheid era in South Africa. In an attempt to adjust to life in a Transnational space, these women have acquired both negative and positive identities. This fine-grained ethnographic account brings in a fresh perspective on Gender and migration.
