Abstract:
Addresses minority relations & the intensification of gender oppression, adopting a comparative perspective to examine Hmong women's experiences of migration in Tasmania & West Bengal per case study analysis. Such comparative analysis of minority women in different social & cultural contexts allows exploration of certain theoretical & methodological shortfalls that feminism has exhibited through overdeconstruction of the category of women. How gender relations reconfigure in reconstituted relations of class, race, & ethnicity is explored, & the necessity of recognizing both the dynamics of migrating feminisms & the centrality of gender in structuring power relations in diverse contexts is emphasized. 66 References.
