Produktbeschreibung
Focusing on St Lucian migrant women, this work represents a phenomenological study of the impacts of household based gender relations on these women's decisions to migrate and circulate. Through a series of in depth interviews and prolonged engagement with these women, the study aims at understanding their lived experiences of gender relations and the meanings that they attach to these experiences. The study combines the transnational and gendered conceptual approaches in understanding and explaining this social phenomenon. The gendered approach within a transnational framework recognizes that men and women experience migration differently, it incorporates the social networks concept and it combines structure and agency to achieve a more complete understanding of the migration decisions of these St Lucian women.
