Beskrivning

This timely book explores the role of social imagination in challenging the dominant narratives on migration. In light of contemporary global crises, it highlights alternatives to current approaches, promoting more just and humane migration futures.Drawing on diverse case studies of migrant- and civil society-led innovations, contributing authors examine how radical imagination emerges in reaction to restrictive and exclusionary migration policies. The book evaluates interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks, investigating the field through discursive, organisational and spatial dimensions. It engages with activism, policy critique, and cultural production to reveal the transformative potential of alternative imaginaries in shaping public discourse as well as social and institutional change.Radical Imagination on Migration in a Turbulent Era is essential reading for academics and students of migration studies, geography, political science, and sociology. It will also appeal to policymakers and practitioners seeking fresh perspectives on mobility, borders, and belonging in an increasingly uncertain world.

‘With far-right anti-migration politics gaining momentum globally, this book makes the hopeful case for alternative political horizons. Examining political repertoires, alliance-building and place-making across different countries and cities, this book is a must read for all working towards a more democratic future based on inclusion, justice, and movement for all.’
