The Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship series covers three important aspects of the migra-
tion progress. Firstly, the determinants, dynamics and characteristics of international migra-
tion. Secondly, the continuing attachment of many contemporary migrants to their places
of origin, signified by the word ‘diaspora’, and thirdly the attempt, by contrast, to belong
and gain acceptance in places of settlement, signified by the word ‘citizenship’. The series
publishes work that shows engagement with and a lively appreciation of the wider social and
political issues that are influenced by international migration.
