Transnationalism, Migration and the Challenge to Europe (eBook, ePUB)

The Enlargement of Meaning

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Transnationalism, Migration and the Challenge to Europe: The Enlargement of Meaning puts forward an alternative outline for addressing migration in a European context. Moving beyond the agenda of identity politics, the book addresses possibilities more related to the experiential and existential dimensions of migratory - and importantly, post-migratory lives. Examining the fundamental and radical argument that migrants should be regarded not as a problematical category, but rather as opening up new cultural and imaginative channels for those living in Europe, the book draws on extensive empirical work undertaken over the past ten years.
