Handbook of Migration and Global Justice

Elgar Handbooks in Migration

Edited by Leanne Weber, Professor of Criminology, University of Canberra, Australia and Claudia Tazreiter, Professor in Ethnic and Migration Studies, Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society, Linköping University, Sweden

This timely Handbook brings together leading international scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and geopolitical perspectives to interrogate the intersections between migration and global justice. It explores how cross-border mobility and migration have been affected by rapid economic, cultural and technological globalisation, addressing the pressing questions of global justice that arise as governments respond to unprecedented levels of global migration.

‘This volume will be a valuable source for all scholars and students who are interested in the global and local manifestations of justice projects within the context of migration and mobility. Not only does it outline the complexity of actors, processes, conditions, and subjectivities within multiple arenas of migration-related justice claims, but it also focuses critical attention on the nexus between global justice and multiple interwoven facets of securitization, racialization, and marginalization.’
– Anna Amelina, Miriam Friz Trzeciak, Ethnic and Racial Studies

‘Handbook of Migration and Global Justice is an invaluable addition to college and university library Social Issues collections, worthy of the highest recommendation.’
– James A Cox, Midwest Book Review

‘Handbook of Migration and Global Justice brings together an impressive assemblage of migration scholars to analyze how nation-states have transformed immigration into crises that call forth intensified protection of both state boundaries and national identities. Truly global in scope, and firmly grounded in the political economy of labour and the politics of human rights, this book offers new insights into the subterranean forces and structural arrangements animating the largest human migration in history, as well as the ineffectual and routinely inhumane responses many destination nations have mobilized to thwart human needs for mobility. It is a must read for those interested in the cutting-edge of migration scholarship.’

‘This is an important book that brings together normative and empirical considerations about the intersections of migration with global justice – and of migrants as workers and as carriers of rights. This Handbook is particularly timely in the light of the pandemic crisis which has highlighted the many contradictions involved between the global migration regime and migrants’ rights. A must-have for researchers and students.’
