Keywords:

This book combines transnational, intersectional and cultural-sociological perspectives to develop a conceptual tool to analyze patterns, contexts and mechanisms of cross-border inequalities. First, synthesizing the theories of social boundaries and of intersectionality, it approaches patterns of social inequalities as intersectionally-produced sociocultural boundaries, with "gender," "ethnicity"/"race," "class" and several other categories being sets of unequal social relations. Cross-border inequalities are analysed as spatialized inequalities, with "space" (which includes the cross-border categories "global" and "transnational") considered as a specific type of sociocultural boundaries. Second, in line with assemblage theory, the societal contexts of cross-border inequalities such as the EU are then conceptualized as assemblages that are shaped by an interplay of spatialized and other types of inequalities. Third, the mechanisms of cross-border inequalities are analysed as "regimes of intersection" that relate spatialized cross-border inequalities to other types of unequal social relations such as gendered, ethnicized/racialized and class-related inequalities. Examples of such regimes of intersection include regulations on migration, internationalization programmes at universities, diversity policies and even family memories. To illustrate the conceptual elements developed in this way, the book provides evidence from empirical research on migration and mobility in Europe, specifically from research on recent migration between Ukraine and Germany, and addresses these developments as processes that are paradigmatic for the study of spatialized cross-border inequalities in general, and for the study of the transnationalized forms they involve in particular.

Recenzijas

Transnationalizing Inequalities in Europe is a highly original volume that builds on theories of globalization, transnationalization, spatialization, boundaries, and intersectionality to examine cross-border social inequalities. Whilst focused on transnational migration, mobility, and post-migration settlement, and using case studies between Ukraine and Germany, the book has much wider application elsewhere, and much wider relevance for the many other transnational processes. As such, and in raising key practical questions for doing transnational research, it should have a strong impact as a landmark text.

Transnationalizing Inequalities offers its readers an original and highly productive dialogue between cultural sociology, intersectional theory and poststructuralist thought. It uses this conversation to make new sense of pressing questions of inequality across Europes fluid borders. Amelinas thinking is as sharp as the inequalities she maps, and as subtle as some of the mechanisms of power she uncovers.

Professor William Walters, Department of Political Science & Department of Sociology/Anthropology, Carleton University, Canada

Theorists of social inequality have often been criticized for their inability to overcome methodological nationalism, an approach that treats the nation state as most important category of analysis. Anna Amelinas book is a pioneering, outstanding work which takes up these challenges and presents new theoretical tools for investigating the transnationalization of social inequalities in the 21st century from an intersectional perspective. A must read for students and scholars of migration- gender- and social inequality studies.
