  • Broschiertes Buch

This book examines how transnational 'talents' negotiate the world as embodied bearers of culture, ethnicity, class and gender, as much as patrons of economic rationalities and corporate logics. By detailing how their transnational migrations entail navigation through uneven, sometimes challenging terrains and local structures, new questions about cosmopolitanisms, the global city, and senses of belonging in a mobile world are explored through the lens of everyday encounters. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
