Like its subject matter, this fascinating book makes a mockery of the 'two cultures' debate, and should appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of science and the origins of the way we see our world.

"As a fascinating addition to the literature on gender and nation-state building, globalization, and transnational processes, the book passionately integrates personal, biographic, and intimate details of everyday life. On the Shoulders of Grandmothers can easily be enjoyed by academic as well as nonacademic audiences as the life stories hold the core of the book. At the same time, the book is not a simple discussion of the strug-gles and aspirations of Ukrainian grandmothers but rather a valuable source of riveting insights into the everyday life, and the changing moral and gender order, in the post-Soviet period. The clarity of Solari’s writing and the reflexive account of her dilemmas as a researcher makes the transnational, comparative data engaging and fluent. This work should be included in the shelves of various disciplines such as Gender and Women Studies, Global/ization Studies, and Transnational migration studies as well as Area Studies."Marhabo Saparova, Northeastern University, in Gender & Society
"Why would a well-educated, middle-aged Ukrainian woman leave behind a beloved child or grandchild to care for elderly clients in Italy and the U.S.—not to return, in some instances, for many years? Taking a fresh approach to a forgotten type of global woman, Solari offers a poignant account of displaced grandmothers and the dreams attached to their hard-earned remittances. This is a highly illuminating and original book." -- Arlie Russell Hochschild, author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right 
"A meticulously researched and beautifully written ethnography about how migration transforms nations from the outside in. Solari tells the compelling story of how Ukranian grandmothers living in 'exodus' in California and in 'exile' in Italy helped create the post-Soviet, newly capitalist Ukraine. Her narrative challenges much of the conventional wisdom about gender, migration, and nations." -- Peggy Levitt, author of Artifacts and Allegiances: How Museums Put the Nation and the World on Display 


"Inthis brilliantly conceptualized and well-researched book, we learn to see how motherhood is a key foundation for nation-state building in Ukraine. Solari’s examination of post-Soviet life for Ukrainian women and their families shows how newly idealized neo-liberal versions of the nuclear family are made possible by the migrant labor and sacrifices of a generation of middle-aged and older women, babushka grandmothers who migrate across continents to earn remittances that will sustain nuclear families back home. Balancing original theoretical insights with riveting ethnographic portraits of diverse Ukrainian women, the book offers new insights into the relations between gender, nation and migrant domestic work."-- Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, authorof Paradise Transplanted: Migration and the Making of California Gardens 
"Focusing on case studies of female migrant domestic and care workers from Ukraine to Italy and the US, Solari conveys a vivid insight into the issues, exertions and contradictions of transnational family life in post-socialist times. Solari convincingly combines three thematic areas which otherwise are treated separately: gender relations, migration and nationalism and shows that an analysis of their interaction is indispensable for the understanding of Ukraine’s development and current situation. The book is a must read for students and scholars studying gender, migration and nationalism in the 21st century. It deserves to become an integral part of the global migration studies syllabus." - Helma Lutz, author of The New Maids. Transnational Women and the Care Economy
"Combining the strengths of personal narratives and sophisticated theory, Cinzia Solari challenges traditional categories in her compelling study of a mass emigration movement out of Ukraine after 1991. These diverse migrations, headed by largely middle-aged women in search of employment opportunities, are creating the building blocks of a new Ukrainian nation state from the outside in. In her examination of the effects of this process, Solari charts a bold new course for an innovative study of post-socialist societies in transition." -- Marian Rubchak, author of New Imaginaries: Youthful Reinvention of Ukraine's Cultural Paradigm
