Popular, political and media discourses frame the issue of
migration and shape how and when it enters the public and political
consciousness. These discourses are of crucial importance as they
influence both the general public's perception of migration and the
policies which regulate both the act of migration itself and
migrant residents. Public and Political Discourses of Migration
brings together an interdisciplinary group of established and
emerging scholars, whose work interrogates the relationship between
discourse and migration. Through the application of a variety of
theoretical lenses drawn from the broad canon of discourse studies,
each contribution unpicks the productive power of discourse in
shaping the reality of migration, migration policy and migrant
lives in the twenty-first century. The cases examined emerge, as do
their authors, from a wide spectrum of national, political and
cultural contexts. They are linked by their fundamental questioning
of 'common sense' and ahistorical approaches to migration. They
address the question of whose interests are served by prevailing
discourses and the structures they underpin. Ultimately, they 'make
strange' accepted 'truths' regarding migration in the twenty-first
century.
