Sex, Love, and Migration: Postsocialism, Modernity, and Intimacy from Istanbul to the Arctic

by Alexia Bloch

Book Overview

Sex, Love, and Migration goes beyond a common narrative of women's exploitation as a feature of migration in the early twenty-first century, a story that features young women from poor countries who cross borders to work in low paid and often intimate labor. Alexia Bloch argues that the mobility of women is marked not only by risks but also by personal and social transformation as migration fundamentally reshapes women's emotional worlds and aspirations.
