Description
Chattoraj and contributors explore the concept of privileged migration in the context of globalization, shedding light on the experiences of a demographic often overshadowed in migration discourse.
The book delves into the rising mobility of various groups, including students, skilled professionals, and lifestyle migrants. Despite their education and resources, these individuals encounter hurdles such as loss of status and their pursuit of integration into the host society. By highlighting the complexities of achieving privileged social interaction with the host population, the text emphasizes the fluid and relative nature of privilege. It provides a nuanced exploration of the experiences of privileged migrants, their strategies for integration, and the challenges they face in navigating between insider and outsider dynamics in their respective host nations.
Rich in empirical evidence and practical insights, this is a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and students of migration, as well as policymakers and practitioners engaged with migrant issues.
