A rich interdisciplinary study of the diversity and dynamics of the migrations of displaced peoples across the Global South

By the end of 2022, the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide had reached a record high of 100 million, the highest figure since the Second World War. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Taliban political takeover in Afghanistan exacerbated an already protracted global refugee situation, but climate-related events also played a part in forcing millions of people to leave their homes in search of more habitable living areas.

Making Routes: Mobility and Politics of Migrant in the Global South provides fresh understandings of mobility flows, transnational linkages, and the politics of migration across the Global South, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Moving away from North–South, East–West binaries and challenging the conception that migratory movements are primarily unidirectional—from South to North—it explores how state policies, migrants’ trajectories, nationalism and discrimination, and art and knowledge production unfold in places as widespread as Egypt, Turkey, Myanmar, Nicaragua, and Haiti.

Seventeen academics, activists, and artists from a range of backgrounds and disciplines, including anthropology, cultural studies, ethnomusicology, and international relations reveal the diverse narratives, migration patterns, forms of agency, and laws that make up the complex reality of South–South migration, offering vital new pathways for research in migration studies today.

Making Routes: Mobility and Politics of Migration in the Glo Book Description

Making Routes: Mobility and Politics of Migration in the Glo invites readers to explore how displaced peoples move across the Global South. The book blends anthropology, cultural studies, and international relations to uncover fresh insights into migration flows, transnational ties, and the politics that shape them. By the end of 2022, forced displacement hit a record 100 million people, the highest number since World War II. Conflicts such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, and worsening climate crises intensified this trend. This book shows how these forces push millions to seek safer, more livable places.

Making Routes moves beyond classic North‑South or East‑West binaries. It challenges the idea that migration only runs South‑to‑North. Instead, the authors examine state policies, nationalist rhetoric, discrimination, and artistic expression in countries such as Egypt, Turkey, Myanmar, Nicaragua, and Haiti. Seventeen scholars, activists, and artists contribute interdisciplinary voices that reveal diverse narratives, migration patterns, and forms of agency. The result is a vivid picture of South‑South migration that opens new pathways for research and understanding.

Key Features of Making Routes: Mobility and Politics of Migration in the Glo

Each chapter pairs case studies with theoretical reflections, making complex ideas easy to follow. Readers will appreciate clear maps, personal testimonies, and visual art that illustrate lived experiences. Additionally, comparative analyses link African, Asian, and Latin American contexts, helping readers see common threads across regions.

Furthermore, contributors draw from ethnomusicology, media studies, and cultural theory, adding depth to discussions of how music and media shape migrant identities. Meanwhile, policy sections highlight how laws and border regimes affect movement across the Global South. Because the book emphasizes South‑South connections, it fills a gap in migration literature that often focuses only on North‑bound flows. Therefore, scholars, students, and policymakers can use it as a balanced reference for migration studies.
