How do Chinese Japanese and Korean mothers in Britain make sense of their motherhood and
employment? What are the intersecting factors that shape these women¿s identities experiences
and stories? Contributing further to the continuing discourse and development of
intersectionality this book examines East Asian migrant women¿s stories of motherhood
employment and gender relations by deploying interlocking categories that go beyond the meta
axes of race gender and class including factors such as husbands¿ ethnicities and the
locality of their settlement. Through this Lim argues for more detailed and context specific
analytical categories of intersectionality enabling a more nuanced understanding of migrant
women¿s stories and identities. East Asian Mothers in Britain will appeal to students and
scholars across a range of disciplines and with an interest in identity gender ethnicity
class migration and intersectionality.
