It explores the existing definitions of a ‘migrant’ with a view to conceptualise a definition which will speak to the complexities, envisioning a more inclusive Southern African region. The book investigates the various levels of migration moving from the local (rural to urban and urban to rural) to cross border migration; middle-class versus working-class migrant household livelihoods; livelihoods procurement versus wage earning; social capital (networks) and how they make meaning of their circumstances in a ‘foreign’ space. It also acknowledges the intertwined issues of gender and class as important in analyzing migration processes and the chapters feature both in varying dimensions. As such, the book provides a great resource for students, academics and policy makers. 2022-06-20T19:31:06Z 2022-06-20T19:31:06Z 2022 book ONIX_20220620_9783030921149_17 9783030921149 9783031041051 9783031041068 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/56988 eng IMISCOE Research Series application/pdf n/a 978-3-030-92114-9.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-030-92114-9 Springer Nature Springer 10.1007/978-3-030-92114-9 10.1007/978-3-030-92114-9 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 dc320b39-3e9d-4f7f-a4b6-208145874b8d 9783030921149 9783031041051 9783031041068 Springer 270 Cham [...] open access
