Migration Across Boundaries By Parvati Nair, Tendayi Bloom
2015 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1472440498 | PDF | 2 MB

At first glance the title of this book suggests that it is simply about the real - the actual - movement of migrants across geographic borders. However, though no work on migration can ignore the passage of people across boundaries - be they local, national or intercontinental - this volume involves far more depth and diversity than purely the study of persons going from one place to another. The range of boundaries examined here are illustrative of the complex interconnectivity between the span of disciplines which explore the multifarious aspects of migration, the varied methodological approaches used to accumulate the data needed to analyse and appreciate the migrant experience and, most importantly, the multiplicity of actors that come under the heading of ‘migrant'.
