Description
Beginning with the forced deportation of refugee women from Rome to Lagos in 2015, Migration, Asylum and Exploitation builds a compelling case for an intersectional rethinking of migration and refugee law. Grounded in women's lived experiences of borders, it exposes the deep interconnections between mobility, labour and social reproduction.
Drawing on feminist theory, Enrica Rigo challenges binary legal categories—forced versus economic migration, free versus paid labour—while making a radical claim for freedom of movement.
By foregrounding gender as a critical lens, this book offers fresh insights into global migration regimes and reimagines hospitality as a space of resistance and decolonial praxis.
