"A revelation for digital researchers and a provocation for migration scholars... It introduces an insightful, inspiring, and inviting way of making sense of the messiness without losing hope of changing things."
- Nishant Shah, Chinese University of Hong Kong
"A must read for everyone who is concerned with questions of human mobility, media and communications and the digital border."
- Myria Georgiou, LSE
"A much-needed addition to scholarship on mobility, technology, and migration... The book is poised to become a touchstone text."
- C.L. Quinan University of Melbourne

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Digital Migration explores:

This book is a comprehensive and impassioned account of the relationship between digital technology and migration. From 'top-down' governmental and corporate shaping of the migrant condition, to the 'bottom-up' of digital practices helping migrants connect, engage and resist.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Digital Migration explores:
- The power relations of digital infrastructures across migrant recruitment, transportation and communication.
- Migrant connections and the use of digital devices, platforms and networks.
- Dominant digital representations of migrants, and how they're resisted.
- The affect and emotion of digital migration, from digital intimacy to transnational family life.
- How histories of pre and early-digital migration help us situate and rethink contemporary research.
- The realities of researching digital migration, including interviews with leading international researchers.
