Female Migration

From the invisibility of migrant women to the visibility of female migration, there is a space to explore. For this reason, a polyphonic encounter, both scientific and sociocultural, gave rise to the texts presented in this collection. This volume is unique and original in several respects: it gathers the voices of migrant women through their testimonies, but it also gives a voice to leaders of associations, particularly migrant associations in the Grand Est region of France and French-speaking Switzerland. It also contains articles by researchers interested in female migration. Various questions arose, to which these testimonies and contributions offer some answers. Can we speak of intercultural orality when studying women’s perspectives on migration? What interlinguistic situations can be identified? How can one bear witness to the experience of female migration? Is the notion of interculturality sufficient for women’s voices in a cross-border, migratory, and scientific context?
