Hardcover. This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of how displacement and migration are shaped by the gendered politics of place, through the lens of critical feminist geopolitics. It brings together interdisciplinary contributions that connect historical legacies of colonialism with contemporary issues, such as statelessness, refugee crises, and urban precarity. Spanning themes from colonial-era upheavals to present-day refugee narratives and urban marginalization in urban spaces, the chapters demonstrate how gender, identity, and power intersect across diverse geographic contexts. By bridging feminist theory with empirical case studies, the volume provides fresh conceptual frameworks and comparative insights that deepen our understanding of forced migration, belonging and resistance. The book is a vital resource for researchers, scholars, and graduate students in gender studies, migration studies, human geography, and related fields. This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of how displacement and migration are shaped by the gendered politics of place, through the lens of critical feminist geopolitics. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

About the Author
Purna Banerjee is the 2022 recipient of the prestigious Constance Fulmer Award in Mentorship, conferred by the British Women Writers Association (BWWA), USA. She has published on Victorian novels, nineteenth-century travel literatures, periodicals, twentieth-century displaced women’s narratives from Indo-Bangladesh border and contemporary social-media-driven protest movements. Feminist, postcolonial, and subaltern theories are the lenses through which she critiques all cultural and literary texts. Purna returned home to Kolkata (India) and joined Presidency University, as an Associate Professor of English. For the previous two decades she lived and taught in the USA (Associate Professor of English, the Co-Director of Gender Studies, Millikin University, 2005 to 2013 & again in 2015). She received her MA degree (1999) from the University of Rochester (NY, USA) and her PhD (2005) from TCU (TX, USA).
Priya Singh is an IDRC (International Development Research Centre, Canada) Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Gender and Forced Displacement, under the Gender and Development Studies programme at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok, and Associate Director at Asia in Global Affairs (AGA), Kolkata. She was previously a Fellow at the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Institute of Asian Studies, where she led research on nationalism, identity, and political transformation in West Asia. Currently based in Bangkok, her work focuses on urban precarity, statelessness, and migrant lives in Asian cities. Her academic orientation is grounded in postcolonial and transregional frameworks. Through this lens, she interrogates how shifting urban margins shape—and are shaped by—broader questions of displacement, governance, and belonging across the Global South. A well-published academic, her body of work spans monographs, edited volumes, peer-reviewed journals, and public-facing platforms, reflecting a commitment to both scholarly depth and public engagement.
