A Welcoming Nation?
Intersectional Approaches to Migration and Diversity in Wales
Intersectional analysis of the issue of migration in Wales.
A Welcoming Nation? addresses current debates around migration in, from, and through Wales. It includes a range of migratory perspectives to better understand the diverse lived experiences of migrants, and the policies, measures, and approaches at work across various scales and sectors in Wales that shape their everyday lives. The volume adopts an intersectional approach to explore these experiences, which is central to understanding the multiple and complex ways in which exclusion and marginalization take place. To this end, the volume is not just a book about migration, but a way in which migratory experiences and statuses can intersect with other factors such as age, gender, race, and sexuality. This volume draws on new and emerging work to understand migration in Wales, including contributors from various career stages and different disciplines.
