- Synopsis
- First Published in 2013. The relationships between governments and the everyday lives of women has long been the focus of attention among feminists. Feminist scholarship critiques women’s lives, experiences and gender inequality in a variety of contexts. In this age of increased internationalism, we are witness to government attempts to use women’s alleged ‘vulnerability’ to justify its humanitarian interventions. Regulating the International Movement of Women interrogates Western governments’ use of discourses of human vulnerability as a tool to regulate non-Western women’s migration. In this collection of provocatively argued essays, the contributors wish to reclaim the concept of racialised and gendered vulnerability, from its under-theorised, and thus, ambiguous location in feminist theory.
