This interdisciplinary edited volume for scholars of migration, transnationalism and care provides a unique, praxis-informed perspective on the often-unrecognised labour of care given and received between migrants. Organised under the concept of Communities of Care in Migration , this book explores local and transnational relationships and practices of care as collectively produced and enacted in the lives of migrants in diverse contexts, including the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Asia, Europe, and online. Leading and emerging scholars, community organisers and practitioners in migrant-focused NGOs from across the world draw on a range of methodological techniques, including qualitative interviews, ethnography, policy analysis, participatory action research and content analysis, to offer a fresh look on migration in action.
