Migrant Professionals in the City: Local Encounters, Identities and Inequalities

Book Overview

This book analyses the relevance of locality for a mobile group and provides a new perspective on migrant professionals by considering the relevance of social identities for local encounters in socially unequal cities. Contributors explore shifting identities, senses of belonging, and spatial and social inequalities and encounters between migrant professionals and "Others" within the cities. These qualitative studies widen the understanding of the importance of local aspects for the social identities of those who are in many aspects more privileged than others.
