While scholarship on migration has been thriving for decades,
little attention has been paid to professionals from Europe and
America who move temporarily to destinations beyond 'the West'.
Such migrants are marginalised and depoliticised by debates on
immigration policy, and thus there is an urgent need to develop
nuanced understanding of these more privileged movements. In many
ways, these are the modern-day equivalents of colonial settlers and
expatriates, yet the continuities in their migration practices have
rarely been considered. The New Expatriates advances our
understanding of contemporary mobile professionals by engaging with
postcolonial theories of race, culture and identity. The volume
brings together authors and research from across a wide range of
disciplines, seeking to evaluate the significance of the past in
shaping contemporary expatriate mobilities and highlighting
postcolonial continuities in relation to people, practices and
imaginations. Acknowledging the resonances across a range of
geographical sites in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, the
chapters consider the particularity of postcolonial contexts, while
enabling comparative perspectives. A focus on race and culture is
often obscured by assumptions about class, occupation and skill,
but this volume explicitly examines the way in which whiteness and
imperial relationships continue to shape the migration experiences
of Euro-American skilled migrants as they seek out new places to
live and work. This book was originally published as a special
issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
