About this book
Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
Humans have always moved, but across the world 'migration' has become a major policy, political and media concern. How can we understand human movement without positioning 'the migrant' as a problem?
This interdisciplinary collection rethinks migration and movement. It explores mobility beyond the human and across time, from the movement of soil in the Middle Ages to contemporary cow passports. It also examines the histories of international borders and how they are intertwined with the politics of race and nation. The book illustrates that conceptually based, critical and creative thinking is as important for practice as it is for theory and can help us understand and respond to migration as a force that connects rather than divides.
