'The international movement of people is one of the most profound, yet relatively mundane, aspects of our contemporary global system. It is increasingly politically charged, as the politics of race, nation, culture and identity impose themselves territorially. The editors of this volume have developed a complex, multilayered and interdisciplinary account of migration, communication and politics, which constitutes an important resource for researchers in these fields.' Terry Flew, Professor of Media and Communication, Queensland University of Technology, Australia 'The contributors to this volume show how a seemingly simple act of moving from one place to another is in fact a complex phenomenon with many opportunities, but also challenges, for individuals, groups and societies. The authors demonstrate how migration is, first and foremost, a communication phenomenon, addressing its philosophical, legal, cultural, political, economic, and religious aspects. The volume will be an indispensable companion to anyone interested in how to deal with the problems of migration and how to increase its potential.' Igor Klyukanov, Professor of Communication, Eastern Washington University, USA
