An exciting exposition of mobility in modern work. It unites labour process theory and migration theory, in a coherent synthesis around labour mobility and migration, with many illustrative cases that back up carefully crafted analysis. Its a must-read for anyone interested in work in the modern world. Chris Smith, Royal Holloway, University of London "In a historical moment where the immobilization and persecution of migration dominates public discourse and political governance, this rare and important book reveals that labour struggles and migration movements are inseparable. It makes a renewed case for the power of autonomy and migrant mobility to unsettle the rise of regressive nationalism and upend the capital control of work and social reproduction." Dimitris Papadopoulos, University of California, Santa Cruz "This book provides a fresh perspective on understanding the politics of migrant labour today. I would recommend it to students and researchers interested in the sociology of work and employment, as well as industrial relations scholars and academics in labour studies." An International Journal of Employment Relations
"A sorely needed theoretical dive, laying the groundwork for research centring migrant agency, its diverse expressions, and the dynamics shaping labour mobilitya critical read for scholars across disciplines." Organization
"[ This book] provides a novel perspective on labour migration by teasing out debates around labour migration and mobility with a meticulous review of literature across different fields." Journal of Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law
