Gender roles, relations, and ideologies are major aspects of migration. This timely book argues that understanding gender relations is vital to a full and more nuanced explanation of both the causes and the consequences of migration, in the past and at present.

Brettell explores the cross-disciplinary exchanges, both past and present, which have engaged cultural anthropologists-and invites readers to continue the conversations.

This book analyzes macro and micro approaches to migration theory, utilizing fieldwork in Portugal and many other countries. It is suitable for instructors and researchers in anthropology, race and ethnic studies, and immigration studies.
