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. Bloch documents how, as women have crossed borders between the former Soviet Union and Turkey since the early 1990s, they have forged new forms of intimacy in their households in Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, but also in Istanbul, where they often work for years on end. Sex, Love, and Migration takes as its subject the lives of post-Soviet migrant women employed in three distinct spheres--sex work, the garment trade, and domestic work. Bloch challenges us to decouple images of women on the move from simple assumptions about danger, victimization, and trafficking. She redirects our attention to the aspirations and lives of women who, despite myriad impediments, move between global capitalist centers and their home communities"--$cPublisher's Web site. 606 $aPost-communism$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aTransnationalism$zTurkey 606 $aTransnationalism$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aWomen foreign workers$zTurkey 606 $aWomen foreign workers$zFormer Soviet republics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPost-communism 615 0$aTransnationalism 615 0$aTransnationalism 615 0$aWomen foreign workers 615 0$aWomen foreign workers 676 $a331.4086/240947 686 $aMS 3050$2rvk 700 $aBloch$b Alexia$0871822 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255444503321 996 $aSex, love, and migration$91946245 997 $aUNINA
