This volume focuses on processes, motivations, policies, and practices that influence international migration and the experiences of migrating and settling in a new country. With chapter contributions by international and interdisciplinary scholars, academics and researchers from Africa, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and North America, the book examines and interrogates some immigration policies, while capturing migration and transnational experiences from migratory hotspots in different parts of the world. To explore the multiple ways in which immigrants and refugees experience migration, the book is grounded in Kimberlé Crenshaw's intersectionality and Uri Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems model. Using these two frameworks, the book examines how transnationality arising from migration affects immigrants' perceived pre- and post-migration expectations and lived experiences in varied spheres including family dynamics, access to services and programs, employment, coping with immigrant and refugee labels, and other related legal and policy-influenced spheres. The book provides a timely and holistic picture of migration and settlement as well as insights on racialization, discrimination, social inequalities, and attendant global remedial processes. As the world experiences more disruption and displacement, Immigrant Lives provides crucial insights of use to undergraduate and graduate students, migration scholars and researchers, policymakers, service providers, politicians, and lawmakers.
