Coping and Adaptation in Times of Exodus offers an in-depth, interdisciplinary exploration of the Venezuelan migration crisis - one of the most significant South-South population movements in recent decades. Drawing on the results of the MICLACAS research project, this book examines how Venezuelan migrants and their families navigate the challenges of displacement. Combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with migrants, their families, host communities, and experts, the volume examines the decision-making process behind migration and immobility, the strategies migrants employ to cope and adapt, and the outcomes of integration across diverse socio-political contexts.Its unique design links the perspectives of migrants in Peru, their relatives in Venezuela, and their neighbours in host communities, allowing for a multi-sited and relational understanding of migration dynamics. By engaging with theories of coping, acculturation, integration, and transnationalism, this book not only fills a critical gap in the literature on Venezuelan migration but also offers broader insights into the complexities of forced migration in the Global South. It will be of interest to scholars of migration, demography, sociology, Latin American studies, and public policy, as well as policymakers and practitioners working on migration governance and social integration.
