Description:This book reconceptualizes migration studies in India and brings back the idea of citizenship to the center of the contested relationship between the state and internal migrants in the country. It interrogates the multiple vulnerabilities of disenfranchised internal migrants as evidenced in the mass exodus of migrants during the COVID-19 crisis. Challenging dominant economic and demographic theories of mobility and relying on a wide range of innovative heterodox methodologies, this volume points to the possibility of re-imagining migrants as 'citizens'.The volume discusses various facets of internal migration such as the role of gender, ethnicity, caste, electoral participation of the internal migrants, livelihood diversification, struggle for settlement and politics of displacement, and highlights the case of temporary, seasonal and circulatory migrants as the most exploited and invisible group among migrants. Presenting secondary and recent field data from across regions, including from the northeast, the book explores the processes under which people migrate and suggests ways for ameliorating the conditions of migrants through sustained civic and political action.This book will be essential for scholars and researchers of migration studies, politics, governance, development studies, public policy, sociology, gender studies as also policymakers, government bodies, civil society and interested general readers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
