Focusing on what can be referred to as the
'precarity-agency-migration nexus', this comprehensive volume
leverages the political, economic, and social dynamics of migration
to better understand both deepening inequality and popular
resistance. Drawing on rich ethnographic and interview-based
studies of the United States and Latin America, the authors show
how migrants are navigating and challenging conditions of
insecurity and structures of power. Detailed case studies
illuminate collective survival strategies along the migrant trail,
efforts by nannies and dairy workers in the northeast United States
to assert dignity and avoid deportation, strategies of
reintegration used by deportees in Guatemala and Mexico, and
grassroots organizing and public protest in California. In doing so
they reveal varied moments of agency without presenting an overly
idyllic picture or presuming limitless potential for change.
Anchoring the study of migration in the opposition between
precarity and agency, the authors thus provide a new window into
the continuously unfolding relationship between national borders,
global capitalism, and human freedom. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the journal Citizenship Studies.
