Book Description
Exploring the quest for 'self' in the city through migrant women's narratives
This ethnographical study explores the process of migration and its economic,
social and psychological dimensions, throwing light on the connection between
middle-class women migrants and city spaces. The study is based on a survey,
discussions and interviews, and highlights the emergence of a gendered citizen
in an unknown and then gradually made-known or 'selfed' city.
Through their narratives, these women share their experiences of the emergence
of the embodied 'self' while negotiating a modern urban space. This includes
challenging existing notions of empowerment, intimacy and security, suggesting
how what women need brings forth changes in themselves
