People who are “on the move” often occupy a state of betwixt and between, in which moral and economic value is subject to change. This enlightening and geographically wide-ranging reassessment of migrant moral economies, Transnationalities of Migrant Moral Economies in a Transforming World delineates migrants’ reciprocity, responsibility and dignity, as they respond to and contest unequal political and economic power. In doing so, this volume examines the transformative potential of transnational mobility to create social networks and to sustain reciprocity capable of resisting contemporary authoritarian efforts to sacralize borders and dehumanize migrants.
