Winner, 2014 BBC Radio 4's Thinking Allowed inaugural award for
ethnography, in association with the British Sociological
Association This ethnographic account of seafarers considers issues
of transnationalism in the twenty-first century and discusses the
detailed life experiences of migrant workers in this context. It
argues for a consideration of the social space available to
transnational migrant workers and suggests that the transnational
experiences of migrants may be more likely to involve exclusion and
alienation than an expansion of social space as a result of
bi-location in more than one community. Based upon original
qualitative research in three different settings, the book draws
upon voyages undertaken by the author on five different working
cargo ships. It describes the situation of seafarers from Cape
Verde and Ghana searching for work in northern Germany and
considers the perspectives of women married to Indian seafarers
resident in Goa and Mumbai. This highly readable book will be of
interest to readers from a variety of disciplines who are
interested in ethnography, particularly in the fields of social
sciences and humanities who are interested in issues of migration,
transnationalism, work, the shipping industry and globalisation. It
will also appeal to individuals with a connection to, or an
interest in, the merchant navy. -- .
