Description
Migration, Development and Transnationalization: A Critical Stance by Nina Glick Schiller and Thomas Faist provides a valuable alternative perspective to the current literature on migration and development. The contributors challenge the fundamental assumptions surrounding the relationship between migration and resource transfers, highlighting how these discourses perpetuate inequality and a global regime of militarized surveillance. The authors argue that methodological nationalism is deeply ingrained in the field, reflecting the interests of powerful states and institutions. This volume invites readers to consider alternative pathways out of poverty, violence, and fear by questioning dominant discourses and pursuing more nuanced approaches to development and migration. By exploring the complex relationships between migration, development, and transnationalization, this book offers a critical stance that can help address the challenges facing the global community today.
