The way we understand the causes and effects of migration has a huge impact on how we treat those people labelled as 'migrants' and 'refugees'. This excellent book assembles leading critics across several disciplines who challenge emerging orthodoxies and stereotypes about climate change and human movement. In what some regard as a 'post-truth' age, we need reasoned and evidence-based analysis more than ever and this book provides it. -- Noel Castree, Professor, University of Wollongong, Australia

In what some regard as a ‘post-truth’ age, we need reasoned and evidence-based analysis more than ever and this book provides it. -- Noel Castree, Professor of Geography, University of Manchester An exciting collection that explores the very real crises an increasingly global order face as the impact of climate change and the movements of refugees and immigrants becomes ever more striking. This book provides real insight into what the imminent future promises: unprecedented ecological upheavals and the increasing displacement of millions of subjects. Highly recommended and urgently needed! -- Elizabeth Grosz, Jean Fox O'Barr Women's Studies Professor in Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, Duke University, USA
