"Reena Kukreja's book offers an incisive perspective on the globalisation of labour migration routes. Focusing on the livelihoods of South Asian migrants across four southern European countries, it offers new data and novel analytical approaches to a long standing yet still largely informal flow of migrants from different south Asian countries to southern European labour markets, particularly agriculture. The book casts light to severe labour exploitation but also to integration processes and the ways in which such global migratory routes transform both destination communities and migrant families. A must-read volume for researchers and experts working on labour migration." -Anna Triandafyllidou, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration, Toronto Metropolitan University This book focuses on an emerging group of low income South Asian migrants who are increasingly migrating to four Southern European countries: Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. While homogenized under the overarching category of "South Asian," the migrant trajectories and migrant experiences and encounters in these host countries are quite disparate and distinct from each other. The empirically rich contributions in the volume examine how national, religious, ethnic, gender, and/or class differences shape differing outcomes in migration trajectories, livelihood strategies, inclusion in host communities, family reunification, and migrant subjectivity for this set of racialized migrants and their families. The volume focusses on four broad themes, namely: Migration governance and labour regimes; Migration strategies and experience - transnational mobility and social mobility; Identity and belonging; and Family and gender relations. This book fills a gap in scholarly works in the fields of migration studies, diaspora studies, and migrant labour, and it will be of interest to students and scholars in these and related fields. Reena Kukreja is Associate Professor in the Department of Global Development Studies, with cross appointments in the Department of Gender Studies and Cultural Studies program at Queen's University, Canada. Her current work examines the intersections of political economy, masculinity, and regimes of bordering and deportability on the lives of undocumented South Asian men in Greece, and the impact of Far-right populism on migrant workers in agriculture and the gig economy in Southern Europe.
