Summary:

Makes excellent use of ethnographic research, written by an author who is intimately familiar with the history of the places she depicts and the theoretical concepts from which she draws. Timely focus on Georgian migrant women in Greece, and their struggle with the long-term economic crises in both Georgia and in Greece. Identifies a topic that merits attention given that the region and the countries at the center of the book are in great flux (Republic of Georgia; Greece; Russia on the border; Russian expansionist interests in conflict with the "West") and that this book is focused on ordinary people (in this case, women who are middle-aged and older; women who experienced the Georgian transition from Soviet Union to post-Soviet political-economic and social worlds).Yes, this proposal identifies a topic that merits attention given that the region and the countries at the center of the book are in great flux (Republic of Georgia; Greece; Russia on the border; Russian expansionist interests in conflict with the "West") and that it is focused on ordinary people (in this case, women who are middle-aged and older; women who experienced the Georgian transition from Soviet Union to post-Soviet political-economic and social worlds). In addition, the topic of migration is enormous and enormously important.
