Preliminary Programme

This paper places information about Bretons in Paris people from a western province that sometimes expresses themselves as an ethnic or minority group and who were perceived to be distinct from other French at this time in the context of a) the very well-developed literature on gender and migration and b) the much less well developed understanding
of gender and migration within France. It examines four key areas of distinction between men and women migrants: auspices of migration, gendered images of migrants, patterns of intermarriage, and occupations. (Show less)

After debunking the family strategy myth no new theory has been formulated to explain gendered differences in migration. In this paper an overview is giving of theories on gender and migration. An attempt is made to formulate new ideas.
The paper is based no only a review of the literature, but also uses an analyses of parliamentary papers on migration. (Show less)
