This book uncovers the contradictions and convergences of racism,
decolonisation, migration and living international relations that
were shaped by the shift from colonialism to postcolonialism and
from nationalism to transnationalism between the 1950s and the
present. It takes up the story of Nicholaos Charalambou Kanaris, a
colonial migrant to the UK from Cyprus, as a reflection on how the
everyday lives of minor figures offer an unexplored window into
international relations. The research uncovers and offers insight
into the complexities and messiness of everyday life and of
(trans)national identities as they are lived and have been lived at
the heart of imperial, colonial and postcolonial systems and
processes. The innovative methodological approach adopts memoirs
gathered through a series of life-narrative interviews and is
guided by theories of minor transnationalism that look to
foreground horizontal relations between minor figures. Various
themes of international relations are examined through the lens of
Nicholaos' story and his family life, including colonialism,
geopolitics, citizenship, security, migration and transnationalism.
Examining how these themes play out in everyday life permits his
practice and lived experience to theorise the international
politics of colonialism, migration and citizenship. This book
argues that Politics and International Relations can benefit from a
transnational approach and offers a method of theory-in-practice
for exploring the everyday experience of transnationalism, through
the methodology of life-narrative and memoir.
