Narrating Migrations from Africa and the Middle East

Exploring narratives produced by different groups of MENA and SSA migrants or refugees this book focuses on the spatial and temporal aspects of their experiences. In doing so the authors examine a wide range of accounts of journeys to host countries and memories (or recreations) of home. The spaces that migrants occupy (or not) in their new country; the spaces and times they share with local populations; and different conceptions of space and time across generations are also investigated as are how feelings surrounding space and time are manifested within these different narratives and their affective-discursive practices.<br/><br/>Taking both a traditional linear view of migration as well as a multilinear multimodal approach the book presents an in-depth investigation into the ways in which people inhabit multiple real and digital spaces.
