Relatively affluent individuals from various corners of the globe
are increasingly choosing to migrate, spurred on by the promise of
a better and more fulfilling way of life within their destination.
Despite its increasing scale, migration academics have yet to
consolidate and establish lifestyle migration as a subfield of
theoretical enquiry, until now. This volume offers a dynamic and
holistic analysis of contemporary lifestyle migrations, exploring
the expectations and aspirations which inform and drive migration
alongside the realities of life within the destination. It also
recognizes the structural conditions (and constraints) which frame
lifestyle migration, laying the groundwork for further intellectual
enquiry. Through rich empirical case studies this volume addresses
this important and increasingly common form of migration in a
manner that will interest scholars of mobility, migration,
lifestyle and culture across the social sciences.

Leading scholars in the sociology of migration, Michaela Benson and
Karen O'Reilly, re-theorise lifestyle migration through a sustained
focus on postcolonialism at its intersections with neoliberalism.
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the interplay of
colonial traces and neoliberal presents, the relationship between
residential tourism and economic development, and the governance
and regulation of lifestyle migration. Drawing on ethnographic
fieldwork undertaken by the authors among lifestyle migrants in
Malaysia and Panama, they reveal the structural and material
conditions that support migration and how these are embodied by
migrant subjects, while also highlighting their agency within this
process. This rigorous work marks an important contribution to
emerging debates surrounding privileged migration and mobility. It
will appeal to sociologists, social theorists, human and cultural
geographers, economists, social psychologists, demographers, social
anthropologists, tourism and migration studies specialists.
