Maahanmuuttajanaisten kokema väkivalta Euroopassa

Millainen ongelma maahanmuuttajanaisten kokema väkivalta on Euroopan maissa? Miten sitä käsitellään Ranskassa, Italiassa tai Iso-Britanniassa?  Onko muslimikulttuuri väkivaltariski? Kirja ”Violence against women and ethnicity: Commonalities and differences across Europe” vastaa näihin kysymyksiin. Mukana on tilasto- ja haastattelutietoa laajasti eri puolilta Eurooppaa, Pohjoismaat mukaan lukien. Suomesta Suvi Keskinen käsittelee väkivaltaa naisten oikeuksien ja hyvinvointivaltiollisen nationalismin näkökulmasta.

Kustantajalta:

This book draws together recent research and writing on violence against migrant and minority women across Europe. The complex interplay of gender, ‘race’/ethnicity, nationality, religion, and class in shaping the lives, experiences and choices of minority/migrant women affected by violence has not always been adequately theorised within much of the existing writing on violence against women.

Feminist theory, especially the insights provided by the concept of intersectionality, is central to the editors’ conceptual frameworks. 

Violence against women has received greater political and policy attention across Europe since the 1990s, leading also to increased research in this area. While responses to the issue differ in the European contexts, there are many similarities reported about the forms and impacts of violence against women.

Despite extensive research on violence against women generally, knowledge on the issues and experiences of women and children from minority/migrant groups remains fragmented. For the first time, this reader draws together existing research and practice, through contributions from academics, researchers, and practitioners/activists, on minority/migrant women and gendered violence from different European contexts.

In challenging the simplistic and untheorised portrayal of violence against women in minority/migrant communities, this volume gives centrality to the concept of intersectionality as it allows a better understanding of the complex interplay of gender, ‘race’/ethnicity, nationality, religion, and class in shaping the lives, experiences and choices of minority/migrant women affected by violence. By drawing these issues together into a coherent debate, this reader will contribute to enhancing theoretical debate on gendered violence and ethnicity and inform the development of policy and practice across Europe.
