Makeshift Migrants and Law : Gender, Belonging, and Postcolonial Anxieties.

This book unmasks the cultural and gender stereotypes that inform the legal regulation of the migrant subject. It critiques postcolonial perspectives on how belonging and non-belonging are determined by the sexual, cultural and familial norms on which law is based and on the colonial encounter.
