Divorce Migration: Tales of Empowerment and Subordination from Ethnic Minority Women in Denmark

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

Focusing on women’s experiences of divorce among migrant communities from the Middle East and South Asia in Denmark, this book traces how gendered power operates across families, communities and state institutions.

Through rich first-person narratives, it reveals how migration can both reinforce and disrupt male dominance, while highlighting generational shifts, class dynamics and the evolving role of the welfare state. By bringing men’s and women’s voices into dialogue, the book offers a nuanced account of how individuals struggle to shape their lives within – and against – layered structures of constraint.

This is a compelling exploration of how migration reshapes power, agency and intimate life.
