Migration is an increasingly prominent phenomenon in today's
globalizing world and it has been perceived in very different ways.
The poetics of exile, the pain of diasporic lives and the
celebration of hybridity in popular cultures across the globe are
curiously at odds with the ways in which sociologists and
economists have tried to conceptualize and analyze migration. In
this book, two leading authorities on migration and nationhood
attempt to bridge the gap between experience and analysis, looking
at: the ruptured experience of space and time created by migration;
the effects of migration on our understanding of national
affiliations and the nation state; and the impact of cross national
economic relations on everyday life. The authors argue that the
figure of the migrant, embodies and condenses out concerns with
race, space and time and the politics of belonging. They examine
the migration of both rich and poor, crossing borders and living
increasingly diasporic lives and show how even as people move
across borders, they still seek to be at home in the world through
the creation of a "politics of belonging".
