Global Marriage: Cross-Border Marriage Migration in Global Context - Hardcover

by Lucy Williams (Author)

The popular imagination of marriage migration has been influenced by stories of marriage of convenience, of forced marriage, trafficking and of so-called mail-order brides. This book presents a uniquely global view of an expanding field that challenges these and other stereotypes of cross-border marriage.
