Migration and its associated social practices and consequences have
been studied within a multitude of academic disciplines and in the
context of policies at local, national and regional level. This
edited collection provides an introduction and critical review of
conceptual developments and policy contexts of migration
scholarship within an Australian and global context, through:
political economy analyses of migration and associated
transformations; sociological analyses of 'settling in' processes;
multi-disciplinary analyses of migrant work; a historical review of
scholarship on refugees; a Southern theory approach to cultural
diversity; sociological reflections on post-nationalism; Cultural
Studies analyses of public culture and 'second generation' youth
cultures; interdisciplinary and Critical Race analyses of 'race'
and racism; feminist intersectional analyses of migration,
belonging and representation; the theorising of cosmopolitanism; a
transdisciplinary analysis of gender, transnational families and
care; and a comparative, transcontextual analysis of hybridity. An
essential contribution to the current mapping of migration studies,
with a focus on Australian scholarship in its international
context, this collection will be of interest to undergraduates and
postgraduates interested in fields such as Sociology, Cultural
Studies, Geography and Politics.

In our global, multicultural world, how we understand and relate to
those who are different from us has become central to the politics
of immigration in western societies. Who we are and how we perceive
ourselves is closely associated with those who are different and
strange. This book explores the pivotal role played by 'the
stranger' in social theory, examining the different
conceptualisations of the stranger found in the social sciences and
shedding light on the ways in which these discourses can contribute
to an analysis of cross-cultural interaction and cultural
hybridity. Engaging with the work of Simmel, Park and Bauman and
arguing for the need for greater theoretical clarity, Theories of
the Stranger connects conceptual questions with debates surrounding
identity politics, multiculturalism, online ethnicities and
cross-cultural dialogue. As such, this rigorous, conceptual
re-examination of the stranger will appeal to scholars across the
social sciences with interests in social theory and the theoretical
foundations of discourses relating to migration, cosmopolitanism,
globalisation and multiculturalism.
