The authors, most of them now living in Canada, are scholars from South Africa, Chile, Trinidad and Tobago, Greece, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Iran, Finland and New Zealand. Their views have been shaped by their experience of specific political and economic changes, such as the dismantling of communism or apartheid, the rise of religious fundamentalism, or rapid marketization. Together the essays offer a rich diversity of intellectual, political, cultural, and religious perspectives.This book adds a new dimension to our understanding of expatriation by putting a feminist face on the émigré experience UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781442674363 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781442674363/original ER -
