Sommario/riassunto

Bringing together the latest international scholarship in the sociology



and anthropology of migration, this volume explores the complexities, joys and frustrations of conducting 'insider' research. The book offers analyses of key methodological, ethical and epistemological challenges faced by migration researchers as they question the ways in which they come to identify with their research topic or their participants.
