This book presents articles resulting from joint research on the representations of migration conducted in connection with the Erasmus Intensive Programme entitled "Migration and Narration" taught to groups of international students over three consecutive summers from 2010 to 2012. The articles focus on various aspects of the migrant experience and try to answer questions about migrant identity and its representations in literature and the media. The book closes with an original play by Carlos Morton, the Chicano playwright working in the United States.
