This book brings fresh perspectives to the anthropology of
migration. It focuses on what migrants write and how
anthropologists may incorporate insights gained from engagement
with this writing into research methods and writing practices. The
volume includes a range of contributions from leading scholars in
the field, all organized around a striking set of questions about
the conditions in which migrant narratives are written and
translated, the audiences for which they are intended, the genres
and media through which they are disseminated, and what such
stories include or leave out. The contributors to this volume
demonstrate an innovative shift in anthropological methods by
showing how fiction and nonfiction, graphic memoir and
autoethnography, song lyrics as well as social media posts and
images, unsettle the power dynamics in the study of migration
narrative. This book will serve as important supplemental reading
for courses on migration, literary anthropology, ethnographic
methods, and sociocultural anthropology in general. It's
interdisciplinary perspective will appeal to a broad range of
scholars and students with interests in migration, narrative, and
anthropological writing genres.
