This book critically examines the question of migration that
appears at the intersection of global neo-liberal transformation,
postcolonial politics, and economy. It analyses the specific ways
in which colonial relations are produced and reproduced in global
migratory flows and their consequences for labour, human rights,
and social justice. The postcolonial age of migration not only
indicates a geopolitical and geo-economic division of the globe
between countries of the North and those of the South marked by
massive and mixed population flows from the latter to the former,
but also the production of these relations within and among the
countries of the North. The book discusses issues such as
transborder flows among countries of the South; migratory movements
of the internally displaced; growing statelessness leading to
forced migration; border violence; refugees of partitions;
customary and local practices of care and protection; population
policies and migration management (both emigration and
immigration); the protracted nature of displacement; labour flows
and immigrant labour; and the relationships between globalisation,
nationalism, citizenship, and migration in postcolonial regions. It
also traces colonial and postcolonial histories of migration and
justice to bear on the present understanding of local experiences
of migration as well as global social transformations while
highlighting the limits of the fundamental tenets of
humanitarianism (protection, assistance, security, responsibility),
which impact the political and economic rights of vast sections of
moving populations. Topical and an important intervention in
contemporary global migration and refugee studies, the book offers
new sources, interpretations, and analyses in understanding
postcolonial migration. It will be useful to scholars and
researchers of migration studies, refugee studies, border studies,
political studies, political sociology, international relations,
human rights and law, human geography, international politics, and
political economy. It will also interest policymakers, legal
practitioners, nongovernmental organisations, and activists.
