“…In anchoring our paper in transnational feminism, our objective has been to sensitize the field to the possibilities of fruitful dialogue on Otherness in the specific context of professional migrant women. We have emphasized the dilemmas they face in their daily experience, in particular the zone of work and how they handle the ‘vigilant attention to the operation of privilege’ (Sampaio, , p. 199) or western hegemony (Campt, ; Genovese, ). We are mindful of the fact that while transnational feminism can be seen as global phenomena, it is also embedded in specific locations, and migration histories have often ensured persistence of Othering (Cuthroys, ).…”

Embraced by their ethnicity and gender many migrant women have negotiated their own spaces in the host country. Yet, much of the literature on migrant women focuses on those who are struggling to make ends meet with low levels of education and how this defines the construction of the Other. We contribute to the limited scholarship in management research on professional migrant women by illustrating how transnational processes play out in the lived experience of professional migrant Indian women in New Zealand, and how they invoke agency in decentring Otherness. This qualitative study foregrounds the navigation of asymmetrical power relations and the strategic deployment of ethnicity, education and caste affiliation, when confronted with processes of exclusion in the labour market. We argue for the need to highlight narratives of professional migrant women which reflect the agency and articulation of their voices, thus reworking notions of the Other in transnational space.

“…Perhaps more importantly, this research has also demonstrated that Latino assimilation into American political culture and practices is a highly complex and contested process, not driven entirely by individual attitudes and behaviors (García-Bedolla 2005;F. C. García, Falcon, and de la Garza, 1996;Jones-Correa 1998;Sampaio 2004). This line of research has directly challenged notions of assimilation as a linear, monotonic process with a static endpoint, in which retention of ancestral values and traditions results in downward socioeconomic mobility and political isolation.…”

S ince the 1970s, Latino politics research has evolved, alternately responding to real-world political events and demographic changes, embracing new and emerging trends in the broader discipline, and offering new insights of its own that contribute to the development of political science. In so doing, there have emerged both an intellectual foundation and a growing body of empirical results, each of which challenges long-held theories and findings in the discipline more broadly. Thus, Latino politics research is central in refining and broadening our understanding of American politics. Immigration, social marginality, and their uncertain status as a racial or ethnic minority make this population unique and raise important obstacles in applying existing interpretations and orthodoxies from the discipline's other traditions to this emerging and rapidly growing segment of American society. The major contributions of this line of inquiry are identified in five key areas: pluralism, group identity and mobilization, political participation, institutions and representation, and assimilation. We conclude with some thoughts regarding how the evolution of American society and its Latino population will pose important questions for future generations of political scientists.

“…As well, stereotyping the South as the only place where unequal gendered relations exist (e.g. Ferguson, 2005;Mohanty, 1991;Sampaio, 2004;Spivak, 1988) makes acknowledging gendered power dynamics in the North more difficult. Furthermore, some researchers may worry that taking these Northern environments and gender dynamics seriously is somehow calling for a universal theory of gender and environment relations that ignores important geopolitical power dynamics and inequalities.…”
