Storying contemporary migrationrepresentation, aspirations, advocacy /[electronic resource] :by Lena Englund. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - v, 235 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- Representing Migration -- Aspirations and Expectations -- Undocumented Migration -- Fortress Europe vs. Open Borders -- Migrant Crisis -- Seeking New Directions.

Open access.

This book examines contemporary stories of migration belonging to multiple literary genres such as nonfiction, memoir, novel, and essay, and explores the futures they envision for migrants and their surrounding societies. The primary material ranges from personal experiences of migration for professional purposes and of being undocumented without access to citizenship, to novels that provide fictional representations of migrants and their complex lives. This study asks how migration, as portrayed in contemporary writing, addresses personal, social, and political consequences of being on the move. The book is organised around central themes such as the status of being undocumented, or aspirations and expectations of both migrants themselves as well as their new environs. The material examined has been published from 2016 onwards, addressing the aftermath of the migrant crisis 2015-2016 as well as the Trump administration 2017-2021. Lena Englund is Senior Researcher in the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Eastern Finland, Finland. Her previous books, South African Autobiography as Subjective History: Making Concessions to the Past (2021) and Home and Nation in Anglophone Autobiographies of Africa (2023), were both published by Palgrave Macmillan.
