It challenges dominant theories and uses heterodox methodologies to highlight the potential of reimagining migrants as citizens. It explores various aspects of internal migration, including gender, ethnicity, caste, and livelihood diversification, and emphasizes the exploitation of temporary, seasonal, and circulatory migrants. The book provides field data from across regions and suggests ways to improve the conditions of migrants through sustained civic and political action. It is essential for scholars, researchers, policymakers, and general readers interested in migration studies, politics, governance, development studies, public policy, sociology, and gender studies. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 July 2021\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis groundbreaking work reimagines migration studies in India, placing citizenship at the heart of the complex relationship between the state and internal migrants. It critically examines the vulnerabilities of disenfranchised internal migrants, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 crisis, challenging dominant economic and demographic theories of mobility. Through a diverse range of innovative heterodox methodologies, the book explores various aspects of internal migration, including gender, ethnicity, caste, electoral participation, livelihood diversification, settlement struggles, and displacement politics. It sheds light on the plight of temporary, seasonal, and circulatory migrants, often overlooked and exploited, as the most vulnerable group within the migrant community. Drawing on extensive secondary and recent field data from across regions, including the northeast, the book delves into the processes driving migration and proposes strategies for improving the conditions of migrants through sustained civic and political action. This seminal work is a must-read for scholars and researchers in migration studies, politics, governance, development studies, public policy, sociology, and gender studies, as well as policymakers, government bodies, civil society, and interested general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 532g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 x 241 x 22 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781138595774\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104719597818,"sku":"9781138595774","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/c25880a90d94810a7a7ee6ea5d389732.jpg?v=1632972762","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/migrants-mobility-and-citizenship-in-india","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
