Deconstructing essentialismmigrant women in stratified labour markets /[electronic resource] :by Anne-Iris Romens. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2022. - xi, 150 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1. Studying stratifications and essentialism in the labour market -- Chapter 2. "I became a migrant from Eastern Europe". Essentialism and migrant women with tertiary education -- Chapter 3. "First the Europeans, then maybe the Filipinas, then you". Perceiving stratifications and essentialism -- Chapter 4. "She wanted me to take a dictation exercise". Essentialism and the embodiment of skills -- Chapter 5. "I can't limit my life to your prejudices". Coping and resistance strategies -- Chapter 6. "Maybe this will be useful for the future". Expanding research on essentialism.

This book proposes an original approach to analyse the social and professional trajectories of migrant women with tertiary education. It focuses on the role of essentialism in stratifying labour markets based on gender, class and racialisation, and in limiting migrant women's employment opportunities. Based on multi-sited fieldwork conducted in France and Italy, the book highlights how essentialism influences the assessment of working capacities, stressing that skills are socially constructed and valued depending on who embodies them. It also emphasises that migrant women and labour market gatekeepers are not only passively accepting essentialism, but some are also resisting and eventually challenging this process. Deconstructing essentialism enables us to better understand the mechanisms that produce stratifications and aids in designing paths towards more equal access to employment. Anne-Iris Romens is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Sociology and Social Research of the University of Milan-Bicocca, Italy. Her research interests regard migration, care, and labour processes which she analyses from an intersectional perspective.
