• catalog abstract ""One of the most common reasons for the migration of people is the search for a better livelihood. However, this remains one of the most under-researched and theorized area of migration studies." "This book aims to redress the balance, and shift focus away from the economic factors usually examined by scholars of migration. Mobile populations do not necessarily migrate to start a new life elsewhere, but rather to search out new opportunities that may allow them to enhance and diversify livelihoods practiced back home." "Using case studies of local people from across the world who have moved either transnationally or internally within their own country, international contributors offer various definitions of what it means to make a living on the move. Mobile livelihoods, which have emanated from the Caribbean, Latin America and East Africa and expanded to North America, Europe and Asia are analyzed to present a picture of multiple flows of lives and skills through migrating to work." "This book will appeal to researchers in migration studies, anthropology and development studies."--Jacket.".
