Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship Series Editors: Robin Cohen, Former Director of the International Migration Institute and Professor of Development Studies, University of Oxford, UK and Zig Layton-Henry, Professor of Politics, University of Warwick, UK. Editorial Board: Rainer Baubock, European University Institute, Italy; James F. Hollifield, Southern Methodist University, USA; Daniele Joly, University of Warwick, UK; Jan Rath, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands The Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship series covers three important aspects of the migration process: firstly, the determinants, dynamics and characteristics of international migration. Secondly, the continuing attachment of many contemporary migrants to their places of origin, signified by the word ‘diaspora’, and thirdly the attempt, by contrast, to belong and gain acceptance in places of settlement, signified by the word ‘citizenship’. The series publishes work that shows engagement with and a lively appreciation of the wider social and political issues that are influenced by international migration.
