About this book
Reviews
“Fathi’s work is of particular interest to anthropologists, political scientists, sociologists and other social scientists interested in transnational migration, class, race, gender, citizenship and intersectionality. Her work is particularly interesting too, to those social scientists, who are intrigued by the messiness and complexity of social life, as well as the possibility of ‘studying up’ within migrant communities.” (Joy Owen, Nordic Journal of Migration Research NJMR, Vol. 09 (1), 2019)
This book fills an important gap in intersectionality studies and stratification studies, providing a nuanced intersectional analysis of the experiences, understandings and social position of Iranian women doctors in the UK, with a much needed focus on the importance of the role of class subjectivities and performativities. It advances understandings of social location and social hierarchy in both empirical and theoretical ways and is an important contribution to the burgeoning area of applying a gendered and intersectional lens within research in migration and ethnic studies. This book is essential reading for students, scholars, and professionals who are concerned with the complexity of othering processes and how they are dealt with by subjects and particularly how racialisation, class, and gender can operate in multiple and contradictory ways.
