- Biography/History:
- Flaminia Bartolini (Dr. phil.), born in 1984, received a PhD in sociology from the Goethe University in Frankfurt. Parallel to her academic activities, she has been working for several years in organizations in the field of migration and women's empowerment. Her research interest focuses on critical migration studies, gender, feminist issues and methodology, and research ethics.
- Summary:
- How do migrant women living in illegality build intimate relationships? How do they experience, resist or take advantage of the tight link between intimacy and migration status created by the German migration legislation?Drawing on rich biographical accounts and ethnographic methods, the book offers an insightful and sensitive look at a mostly unknown aspect of life in illegality. Adopting a critical feminist perspective, Flaminia Bartolini shows how intimacy should be understood in its intrinsic power dimension and looks critically at the German migration regime and on its effects on migrants' lives.
- »This book results to be a very good reading for those engaging with qualitative research in gender and migration studies, able to provide original insights and an inspiring perspective.«
