Reviews
"Seldom have I been so excited by an edited collection! This stimulating volume offers diverse disciplinary and geographical approaches to marriage and partner migration - increasingly recognized as a crucial aspect of international mobility. Troubling the binaries which often dog the subject - legal vs emotional, love vs interest, state vs intimacy and migrant vs citizen - Transnational Marriage and Partner Migration offers both an exciting and wide-ranging introduction for newcomers to this fascinating field, and fresh perspectives for those of us already hooked." -- Katharine Charsley * author of Transnational Pakistani Connections: Marrying 'Back Home' *
"This multidisciplinary gem explores the emotional intimacies and legal intricacies of citizenship in today's fraught context of 'family' migration politics. Doing so reveals the structural centrality of state-sanctioned marriage for reproducing - through eurocentric paradigms of love, citizenship and resource distribution - crises of sexual, racial and economic inequality. Not what most expect, and well worth a read." -- V. Spike Peterson * co-author of Global Gender Issues in the New Millennium *
