The lives of Georgian women who migrated to Thessaloniki, in Greece from the mid-1900s onwards remain largely invisible. Georgian Migrant Women on the Move seeks to bridge this gap by examining how this convergence of life worlds offered both challenges and turning points for Greek communities and Georgian migrants alike. Ranging from the historical Greek migrant experience of unregulated care work and uncertain political status to the potent sense of home and motherhood in Georgian culture, this study tracks how divergent ideas of gender and class are reshaped by transnational mobility. Consequently, it illuminates the methods Georgian women used to reforge their identities in the face of rupture and change.
