This edited collection aims to examine the global-rural
relationship of migration that shapes rural places. It does this by
acknowledging that to understand the impact of the international
migration-global nexus, it is essential to explore how it is
experienced at a local level - in the context of this book, rural
regions. Focusing on agribusiness and rural development, as well as
the othering of international migrants and the shifting boundaries
of belonging in rural spaces, the chapters in this book examine how
globalisation, with migration being a constitutive feature,
influences different rural contexts in the ‘Global North’ and
the impact this has on migrant populations. Chapters demonstrate
the harsh lived experiences/realities characterised by mental
health issues and emotional labour for migrants, occupational
health and safety issues in the workplace and experiences of
exclusion and racism from ‘host’ communities. These
chapters taken together identify a rural-migration nexus
where the relationship between international migration and
localised rural spaces are mutually constitutive.Â
