{"product_id":"mobility-education-and-life-trajectories-karen-valentin-9781138202306","title":"Mobility, Education and Life Trajectories: New and Old Migratory Pathways","description":"\u003cp\u003eMigration for educational purposes, once the privilege of the upper class, has become a global mass phenomenon in recent years. This volume examines, within different cultural and historical contexts, the close relationship between migration, education, and social mobility. Adopting the perspective that education includes a broad range of formative experiences, the chapters explore different educational trajectories and the local, regional, and transnational relations in which they are embedded. Three key issues emerge from the analyses: firstly, the central role of temporal aspects in terms of both the overall historical conditions and the specific biographical circumstances shaping educational opportunities; secondly, the complex agendas informing individuals' migration and the adjustment of these agendas in the light of the vagaries of migrant life; and thirdly, the importance of migrants' self-perception as 'educated persons', and the invention of new identities, and the maintaining of old identities that this involves. This book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eIdentities: Global Studies in Culture and Power. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Valentin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138202304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138202306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Karen Valentin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113267704063,"sku":"9781138202306","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53757eda-26e7-40b3-8278-dbd667ffe417.jpg?v=1769613988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mobility-education-and-life-trajectories-karen-valentin-9781138202306","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
