This volume explores the experiences of a wide variety of
middle-class migrant groups across the globe, including 'ethnic
entrepreneurs' building new businesses in cosmopolitan
neighbourhoods in Sydney; Chinese grandparents shuttling between
Australia, China and Singapore to support their extended families;
well-off young Indians in Mumbai strategising their future
education pathways overseas; and Japanese mothers finding ways to
belong in a London middle-class neighbourhood. This book asks how
relatively privileged migrant groups negotiate their life
trajectories, relationships and aspirations while 'on the move' and
how they transform the communities and societies that they move
between across time and space. The book's chapters consider motives
for migration, as well as experiences of risk, uncertainty and
insecurity in diverse local contexts. A fresh look at the migration
of those who possess skills and resources that can bring about
significant economic, social and cultural change, this book engages
critically with the notions of 'middling' migration, social
mobility and mobile privilege in the global context of hardening
borders and immigration complexity. It will appeal to scholars with
interests in contemporary forms of migration and mobility and their
local and transnational consequences.
