Reviews
'By focussing on the trajectory of a social category so many of us take for granted, this book offers a creative, critical and provocative engagement with the discursive and postcolonial history of the ways we think about migration more generally. For anyone concerned about the ways migration and mobility have been, and continue to be, governed, imagined and experienced, this book is an essential read.'
Tariq Jazeel, University College London
Caroline Knowles, Queen Mary, University of London 'Brilliant, insightful and often surprising, this book leverages the ever changing social category "expatriate" to explore the intersections of race, colonialism, management and migration. Scholarly work at its best.'
Bridget Anderson, University of Bristol
