Description
Reviews / Votes
"Beyond Network anthology adds to migration scholarship a much overlooked aspect, which is an exploration of feedback mechanisms that operate to create links across time and space. . This volume provides a great entry point for anyone interested in doing research based on migration feedback or migration in general. . This volume is highly recommended to students and scholars who are newly interested in media and migration studies and the ones who are interested in conducting mixed methods research projects." (Madhuri Prabhakar, Nordic Journal of Migration Research, Vol.8 (1), 2018)More details
