Conclusion -- References. 330 $aBased on a qualitative study on migrants of Somali origin who have settled in Europe for at least a decade, this open access book offers a ground-breaking exploration of the idea of mobility, both empirically and theoretically. It draws a comprehensive typology of the varied ?post-migration mobility practices? developed by these migrants from their country of residence after having settled there. It argues that cross-border mobility may, under certain conditions, become a form of capital that can be employed to pursue advantages in transnational social fields. Anchored in rich empirical data, the book constitutes an innovative and successful attempt at theoretically linking the emerging field of ?mobilities studies? with studies of migration, transnationalism and integration. It emphasises how the ability to be mobile may become a significant marker of social differentiation, alongside other social hierarchies. The ?mobility capital? accumulated by some migrants is the cornerstone of strategies intended to negotiate inconsistent social positions in transnational social fields, challenging sedentarist and state-centred visions of social inequality. The migrants in the study are able to diversify the geographic and social fields in which they accumulate and circulate resources, and to benefit from this circulation by reinvesting them where they can best be valorised. The study sheds a different light on migrants who are often considered passive or problematic migrants/refugees in Europe, and demonstrates that mobility capital is not the prerogative of highly qualified elites: less privileged migrants also circulate in a globalised world, benefiting from being embedded in transnational social fields and from mobility practices over which they have gained some control. 410 0$aIMISCOE Research Series,$x2364-4087 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aMigration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 606 $aAnthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000 610 $aSocial sciences 610 $aEmigration and immigration 610 $aSocial structure 610 $aSocial inequality 610 $aAnthropology 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 14$aMigration. 615 24$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 615 24$aAnthropology. 676 $a304.8 700 $aMoret$b Joëlle$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0910179 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300582803321 996 $aEuropean Somalis' Post-Migration Movements$92037186 997 $aUNINA
