topic of discussion around the globe, mainstream literature on
migrants' legal adaptation and integration has focused on case
studies of immigrant communities in Western-style democracies. We
know relatively little about how migrants adapt to a new legal
environment in the ever-growing hybrid political regimes that are
neither clearly democratic nor conventionally authoritarian. This
book takes up the case of Russia-an archetypal hybrid political
regime and the third largest recipients of migrants worldwide-and
investigates how Central Asian migrant workers produce new forms of
informal governance and legal order. Migrants use the opportunities
provided by a weak rule-of-law and a corrupt political system to
navigate the repressive legal landscape and to negotiate-using
informal channels-access to employment and other opportunities that
are hard to obtain through the official legal framework of their
host country. This lively ethnography presents new theoretical
perspectives for studying immigrant legal incorporation in similar
political contexts.
