Migration for educational purposes, once the privilege of the upper
class, has become a global mass phenomenon in recent years. This
volume examines, within different cultural and historical contexts,
the close relationship between migration, education, and social
mobility. Adopting the perspective that education includes a broad
range of formative experiences, the chapters explore different
educational trajectories and the local, regional, and transnational
relations in which they are embedded. Three key issues emerge from
the analyses: firstly, the central role of temporal aspects in
terms of both the overall historical conditions and the specific
biographical circumstances shaping educational opportunities;
secondly, the complex agendas informing individuals' migration and
the adjustment of these agendas in the light of the vagaries of
migrant life; and thirdly, the importance of migrants'
self-perception as 'educated persons', and the invention of new
identities, and the maintaining of old identities that this
involves. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power.
