Migrant City tells the story of contemporary London from the
perspective of thirty adult migrants and two sociologists.
Connecting migrants' private struggles to the public issues at
stake in the way mobility is regulated, channelled and managed in a
globalised world, this volume explores what migration means in a
world that is hyper connected - but where we see increasingly
mobile, invasive and technologically sophisticated forms of border
regulation and control. Migrant City is an innovative collaborative
ethnography based on research with migrants from a wide variety of
social backgrounds, spanning in some cases a decade. It utilises
recollections, photographs, poems, paintings, journals and drawings
to explore a wide range of issues. These range from the impact of
immigration control and surveillance on everyday life, to the
experience of waiting for the Home Office to process their claims
and the limits this places on their lives, to the friendships and
relationships with neighbours that help to make London a home. This
title will appeal to students, scholars, community workers and
general readers interested in migration, race and ethnicity, social
exclusion, globalisation, urban sociology, and inventive social
research methods.
