Dear All,
We are happy and proud to announce the publication of our latest book:
Grabska, Katarzyna, Marina de Regt and Nicoletta Del Franco (2019),Adolescent Girls' Migration in The Global South: Transitions into Adulthood.Palgrave Studies on Children and Development. New York: Palgrave Macmillan.
This book provides a nuanced, complex, comparative analysis of adolescentgirls’ migration and mobility in the Global South. The stories and thenarratives of migrant girls collected in Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Sudan guide the readers in drawing the contours oftheir lives on the move, a complex, fluid scenario of choices, constraints,setbacks, risks, aspirations and experiences in which internal or international migration plays a pivotal role.The main argument of the book is that migration of adolescent girls intersectswith other important transitions in their lives, such as those related toeducation, work, marriage and childbearing, and that this affects their transition into adulthood in various ways. While migration issometimes negative, it can also offer girls new and better opportunities withpositive implications for their future lives.
The book explores also how concepts ofgendered adolescence and adulthood for girls are being transformed in the context of migration.
A refreshingly nuanced analysis addressing thepositive and negative outcomes of the migration of adolescent girls and theirdiverse transitions to adulthood in several cities in the Global South. Thebook brings to the fore their own voices and seeks to move away from a tendencyto reduce their complex experiences to exploitation and sexual exploitation.
—Eleonore Kofman, Professorof Gender, Migration and Citizenship, Middlesex University, UK
Using an innovative approach of comparativeco-production, this insightful book teases out the diverse and nuancedcomplexities of migrant girls’ lived experiences. It explores south-to-southprocesses of migration, contributing to contemporary debates on risk,resilience, mobility and agency in precarious contexts. Based on rich andin-depth case studies in Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Sudan, the chapters revealchallenging gendered transitions surrounding the decisions, experiences andconsequences of migration. A powerful read.
