A Journey through Complexities

I enjoyed this book very much. It is an academic writing that gives deep exploration of the existing literature on the subject under study and provides fascinating insight into the complexities of migrations and migrants. It is also a literary work that is written in poetic style and fraught with endless philosophical thoughts.Iain Chambers in this book successfully challenges the belief that we are living in a unitary world with linear history and homogenous culture. Reading this book is a journey that leads us through the diversities surrounding and defining us. Along the journey, we will be given many interesting perspectives to look at the fact that we have increasingly realized - we are living between worlds and cultures that are shaped by as well as shaping different migrants, languages, and histories.
