The migration of professionals is widely seen as a paradigmatic
representation and a driver of globalization. The global elite of
highly qualified migrants-managers and scientists, for example-are
partly defined by their lives' mobility. But their everyday lives
are based and take place in specific cities. The contributors of
this book analyze the relevance of locality for a mobile group and
provide a new perspective on migrant professionals by considering
the relevance of social identities for local encounters in socially
unequal cities. Contributors explore shifting identities, senses of
belonging, and spatial and social inequalities and encounters
between migrant professionals and 'Others' within the cities. These
qualitative studies widen the understanding of the importance of
local aspects for the social identities of those who are in many
aspects more privileged than others.
