Migrant Professionals in the City.
Local Encounters, Identities and Inequalities
Edited by Lars Meier, TU Berlin
The migration of professionals is widely seen as a paradigmatic
representation and a driver of globalization. The global elite of highly
qualified migrants—managers and scientists, for example—are partly
defined by their lives’ mobility. But their everyday lives are based and
take place in specific cities. The contributors of this book analyze the
relevance of locality for a mobile group and provide a new perspective
on migrant professionals by considering the relevance of social
identities for local encounters in socially unequal cities. Contributors
explore shifting identities, senses of belonging, and spatial and social
inequalities and encounters between migrant professionals and ‘Others’
within the cities. These qualitative studies widen the understanding of
the importance of local aspects for the social identities of those who
are in many aspects more privileged than others.
