This volume establishes a new agenda for approaches to migration
research and the corresponding methodologies. A wide range of
international contributors focus on the question of how to overcome
the so-called 'methodological nationalism' within empirical studies
on migration. They address two main challenges: how to
contextualize the empirical research field; and how to deal with
national and ethnic categorizations within the empirical studies.
Methodologies on the Move outlines, first of all, a new
epistemological basis for migration research, which is pinpointing
the relational concept of space. Second, building on the
multi-sited method of ethnography, it provides detailed insights
into novel qualitative and quantitative research designs. Third, it
presents innovative data collection methods on geographic and
virtual mobility, and on cross-border social practices. This volume
transcends the early criticisms of 'methodological nationalism' in
migration research and suggests both general methodological lines
as well as helpful tools for empirical analysis. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial
Studies.
