Exploring the intersections between storytelling and identities by and about migrants, this edited volume expands our knowledge of how mobility and narrative relate to politics, ethics, climate change, globalization, and new technology. Drawing on rich ethnographic case studies, it presents exciting new theoretical and methodological perspectives and reflects on the challenges and ethical dilemmas involved in analyzing migrant narratives.

The chapters offer insights into identity construction by members of communities such as returning migrants or migrants originally from the global north moving to the global south, domestic workers, and descendants of war refugees. The contributions also describe linguistic and identity practices in understudied environments such as different digital contexts, publications for children, and parliamentary debates.

The volume is divided into three parts. Part one gathers chapters in which authors investigate identity construction among a variety of migrant groups of different origins, generations and ages in various geographical spaces including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, Italy, and the United States. The second part, entitled Stories in Institutional Contexts, includes chapters that examine narratives by and about migrants as they emerge in, and are influenced by, institutional settings. Finally, part three reflects on methodological and ethical issues in research focusing on storytelling among migrants.

Covering diverse migrant groups and geographical areas, Narratives and Migration: New Perspectives and Challenges is an indispensable resource for scholarship on migration and narratives around the world.
