A CRITICAL, NUANCED, AND INTERDISCIPLINARY INTRODUCTION TO THE GEOGRAPHIES OF MIGRATION

Migration: A Critical Introduction offers a fresh and accessible framework for understanding migration through a distinctly geographical lens. Going beyond traditional borders and categories, this book examines the forces that shape migration—historical, political, spatial—and invites readers to think differently about how migration is defined, governed, and experienced.

Challenging conventional understandings of migration by centring geographical concepts, critical theory, and storytelling, the authors explore the production of migration knowledge and the power relations that underpin it. Readers are introduced to various forms of migration, from labour and family migration to displacement caused by climate change and conflict. Each chapter builds on practical, ethical, and conceptual tools for critically engaging with migration research and narratives, whilst fostering more inclusive and emancipatory imaginaries of migration futures.

Migration: A Critical Introduction is an essential resource for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students of Geography, Sociology, Anthropology, International Relations, and related fields. It is particularly suitable for courses on Human Geography, Migration Studies, and Political Geography as part of broader degree programmes in the social sciences and humanities.
