’This is an exciting new book that genuinely crosses boundaries in novel ways through its interdisciplinary engagement with migration. In privileging the experiences of migrants as creative actors, it expertly combines innovative perspectives using various artistic forms and more conventional research to not only promote understanding of migration but also to inform policies that will ultimately bring about change for the better.’ Cathy McIlwaine, Queen Mary University of London, UK
