Opis

Migration for educational purposes, once the privilege of the upper classes, has become a global mass phenomenon in recent years. Through in-depth ethnographic studies, this book explores the range of individual, family, and state agendas that may be involved in this mobility, and the complexity of the identities and associated subjectivities negotiated by the migrants. This book was originally published as a special issue of Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power.
