“Migration and Social Transformation” is the latest publication in the Migration Series, organized and edited by CSEM Publishing. It is a work that seeks to deepen and disseminate interdisciplinary studies on migration and related themes.
The book addresses the centrality of migration in global political debates, highlighting its influence not only on the lives of migrants, but also underlining the complexity of migratory movements and their impact on communities of origin, generating transformations along migratory routes.
The book challenges Eurocentric narratives, promoting a fairer and more inclusive approach to migration and recalls the urgency of looking beyond national borders. It consists of twelve articles written by more than 30 authors from different countries. It is organized into three sections which present, according to the organizers, “a variety of experiences”.
The organizers“ proposal, when compiling the texts for the volume, “was to bring together authors who would break the inertia of disciplinary discourses and combine rigorous academic work with applied projects centered on migrants" (p.21, preface).
The miscellany aims to critically show the main challenges facing migration research today, as well as exposing the issues surrounding the authors' methodological and operational approaches in the field of migration in the contexts of Africa, Europe and Latin America. The volume dialogues directly with problems related to social work with migrants and refugees.
The publication is part of the MISOTRAN Network and is a translation of the book “Migration and Social Transformation: engaged perspectives”, published by Machdohnil Ltd in May 2022.
