Overview

What does it really mean to ""decolonize"" migration studies? Often the term is used as a slogan, without asking whether it genuinely changes research or simply replaces one dominant framework with another. This book explores when decolonial approaches create new openings and when they risk shutting down debate. Drawing on vivid case studies from partnerships between North and South, to fieldwork, reciprocity and participatory methods, the book offers fresh insights into how ideas of decolonization play out in practice. This is essential reading for anyone rethinking migration research today.
