This volume represents a significant contribution to the fields of migration studies, postcolonial theory, and critical geography. It critically engages with the intersections of power, space, and identity to deepen our understanding of the challenges and possibilities of negotiating citizenship and belonging in an increasingly interconnected and precarious world. The book interrogates the construction of nationalist narratives and their role in perpetuating exclusionary paradigms, which marginalize certain demographic segments and reinforce hierarchical notions of belonging. Further, it examines the bio-political mechanisms that engender conditions of precarity, reshaping conceptions of citizenship and nationhood in response to environmental degradation, population control policies, and state surveillance. The essays in the volume delve into the diverse factors driving displacement, encompassing both state-driven policies of engineered displacement and environmental factors such as climate change, resource depletion, and natural disasters. They also focus on the marginalized spaces of displacement and explore how these sites become loci of resistance and incubators of alternative forms of belonging.
