This book offers a much-needed new political theory of an old phenomenon. The last decade alone has marked the highest number of migrations in recorded history. Constrained by environmental, economic, and political instability, scores of people are on the move. But other sorts of changes—from global tourism to undocumented labor—have led to the fact that to some extent, we are all becoming migrants. The migrant has become the political figure of our time. Rather than viewing migration as the exception to the rule of political fixity and citizenship, Thomas Nail reinterprets the history of political power from the perspective of the movement that defines the migrant in the first place. Applying his "kinopolitics" to several major historical conditions (territorial, political, juridical, and economic) and figures of migration (the nomad, the barbarian, the vagabond, and the proletariat), he provides fresh tools for the analysis of contemporary migration.

Migrant City tells the story of contemporary London from the perspective of thirty adult migrants and two sociologists. Connecting migrants’ private struggles to the public issues at stake in the way mobility is regulated, channelled and managed in a globalised world, this volume explores what migration means in a world that is hyper connected – but where we see increasingly mobile, invasive and technologically sophisticated forms of border regulation and control. Migrant City is an innovative collaborative ethnography based on research with migrants from a wide variety of social backgrounds, spanning in some cases a decade. It utilises recollections, photographs, poems, paintings, journals and drawings to explore a wide range of issues. These range from the impact of immigration control and surveillance on everyday life, to the experience of waiting for the Home Office to process their claims and the limits this places on their lives, to the friendships and relationships with neighbours that help to make London a home. This title will appeal to students, scholars, community workers and general readers interested in migration, race and ethnicity, social exclusion, globalisation, urban sociology, and inventive social research methods.

The novel is set in contemporary Europe. It brings to focus the often complex and turbulent experience of people who leave home for other parts unfamiliar to them. A young Modern Languages graduate of his countrys University, left the true, steadfast and reassuring love of his dedicated family in the West Coast of Africa for faraway Europe. He left home in pursuit of the much- spoken- about good life in the West of Europe. It in simple terms means; assured prosperity or freedom from poverty. This fantasy was rife and sustained in his community and other parts of the developing world, namely: most of the continent of Africa Asia and some parts of the Middle East. These are ravaged by acts of wars and; mismanagement by those in position of power and authority. His migration journey was relatively uneventful, but he heard true account of sordid stories of hardship, exploitation, abuse and widespread loss of lives on the wide open seas en- route to migration. Reality dawned on him, when he was greeted with instant dislike and rejection from his so-called hosts. He was alone and unwanted whatever he did. Shortly, he met some acquaintances who felt the same like him. Then he was sure he was not over- sensitive or over reacting to his new environment. He discovered that the much- sought- after prosperity would elude him no matter how much he persevered,{his high level of education failed to afford him a meaningful job} For the largest number of the ethnic population, he was Persona non grata: ( an unwelcome or unwanted person). It was apparent that in England and the wider Europe, there was no mythical dream like in the so-called beloved New World. Sometimes the hatred of the migrants as they are pejoratively renamed, escalates to death or near death proportion precipitating a migrant hunt in immigration van. Sadly, almost everyone is in it (in varying degrees). Fellow workers at the menial job he did (the infamous 3D jobs) for lack of any thing better, do not hide their disaffection and rejection. His neighbour appeared not to stand the sight of him. Many in the neighbourhood are compulsively resistant to anyone from non- identical race or background. Fellow migrants avoid each other for self preservation. Many laboured to ingratiate themselves with the hosts at the expense of other migrants It was an open secret that the so-called migrants are part of the political football, and the law- makers do not hesitate to focus on the dislike of the migrant to impress the voters. The migrant hunt was on-going in the white vans: (obviously threatening to catch and deport them) He felt trapped. Indeed it was hard to choose to leave or stay. He spared a short time to offer a simplistic advice to the youths at his home, and any would-be migrant Please do not leave home at all costs (in spite of everything he stressed), Europe may not be worth it after all, he concluded.

Transnational labor migration often begins with the dream of securing a more stable and prosperous future, a chance to survive. The lure of “global cities” as a place to attain that dream looms large within the context of rural-urban migration flows. This book reveals some of the complex phenomena and processes that strip bare the lives and dreams of migrant workers living abroad, whose life experiences are overwhelmingly dominated by stress and suffering and diminished gendered roles. The book illuminates the intimate aspects of how Thai male migrants have transcended their harsh reality while living under Singapore’s strict regulations governing foreign workers. Stripped bare of the powerful sociocultural, economic, and legal processes that govern their existence at home, these men must recraft their gendered selfhoods, identities, and sensibilities. Using personal and interpretive ethnography, the book explores how popular music, sports, religious beliefs, cultural traditions, sexual desire, and intimacy are refashioned by appropriating cultural and symbolic capital into new cultural experiences. It also provides an extensive look at the sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome (SUNDS) among young healthy Thai construction workers in Singapore. The author’s in-depth analyses of migrant social life and male migrant gendered identitynegotiating processes provide an invaluable contribution to our understanding of labor transnationalism in the Southeast Asian context. Highlights An important contribution to studies of the masculinization of migration Provides ample insight into the lived experience of migrant workers Explores an often forgotten side of labor migration, that of sexual intimacy Adds a rich, detailed understanding of “village transnationalism”

In The Migrant Image T. J. Demos examines the ways contemporary artists have reinvented documentary practices in their representations of mobile lives: refugees, migrants, the stateless, and the politically dispossessed. He presents a sophisticated analysis of how artists from the United States, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East depict the often ignored effects of globalization and the ways their works connect viewers to the lived experiences of political and economic crisis. Demos investigates the cinematic approaches Steve McQueen, the Otolith Group, and Hito Steyerl employ to blur the real and imaginary in their films confronting geopolitical conflicts between North and South. He analyzes how Emily Jacir and Ahlam Shibli use blurs, lacuna, and blind spots in their photographs, performances, and conceptual strategies to directly address the dire circumstances of dislocated Palestinian people. He discusses the disparate interventions of Walid Raad in Lebanon, Ursula Biemann in North Africa, and Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri in the United States, and traces how their works offer images of conflict as much as a conflict of images. Throughout Demos shows the ways these artists creatively propose new possibilities for a politics of equality, social justice, and historical consciousness from within the aesthetic domain.

This book draws attention to the various factors that characterize migrant flows and mobilities, calling into question familiar concepts such as push and pull, migration as a life project and sociocultural integration. It highlights processes such as fl exible migrant routes, temporary and return migration, mental aspects of migration processes and transnationalism, which are organised around the themes of shaping trajectories, frictions in space, and the migrant mental framework. It brings together work from scholars from Europe and beyond, with the contributions collected emphasizing the social and mental processes that underpin the migratory process, which can be seen as the ‘soft side’ of migration. Too often, this side is neglected when the governance of migration is discussed. The novel ideas expressed here also help to overcome the mechanistic view of migration as a push-pull event. Thus, the book suggests a different understanding of migration and mobility as relational, non-linear and fluid social processes, characterized by instability in migrant life trajectories. Emphasizing the fl exibility of migrants and migration and advocating the importance of emotionally charged, individual perceptions as central to migrant decision-making, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, politics and geography with interests in migration and diaspora studies.

A young, wannabe emigrant flies across the oceans for the first time in his life, looking forward to the good life on foreign shores, away from the grime and chaos of India. Australia has all the trappings of luxurious first-world living that he has seen on on screen till now. But to all the pomp and show there is a dark underside: racism, poverty and the constant threat of being deported. As he crosses the barriers of joblessness and loneliness, there is, yet, in store for him, an ultimate shock...
