Opis

This book centres the voices and agency of migrants by refocusing attention on the diversity and complexity of human mobility when seen from the perspective of people on the move; thus the volume disrupts the binary logics of migrant/refugee, push/pull, and places of origin/destination that has informed the bulk of migration research.
