Diverse and divergent place-makinng of people on the move

Book co-edited by Dr Nanneke Winters

Edited by Nanneke Winters, Heike Drotbohm and Yaatsil Guevara González, this book recentralizes the 'out-of-the-way' places that migrants occupy as key sites in the shaping of people’s mobility and identities.

People who are 'on the move', particularly migrants and the displaced, often inhabit places that are considered temporary, peripheral and remote. (Un)Settling Place: Diverse and divergent place-making of people on the move recentralizes these 'out-of-the-way' places as key sites in the shaping of people’s mobility and identities. 

Ranging from the surveillance and care that migrants experience to the re-creation of social ties and the re-claiming of space, this collection volume seeks to show how a critical approach to in-between place-making can challenge the idea of place as fixed, singular, or one-directional, offering new ways of understanding migrant trajectories.
