Recenzje

Migration and Identity offers a fascinating and wide-ranging selection of migrants' stories and of prisms for interpreting them....an excellent volume, allowing readers to learn a great deal about the identities of contemporary migrants as well as the theoretical prisms scholars and migrants themselves use to interrogate those identities.
