PAPERBACK, like new copy, appears completely unused. RÖSCHENTHALER, UTE / JEDLOWSKI, ALESSANDRO. Mobility between Africa, Asia and Latin America: economic networks and cultural interactions. Edited by Ute Röschenthaler and Alessandro Jedlowski. London: Zed Books Ltd., 2017, xii, 327pp., .

The contributors argue that this exchange represents a form of 'globalization from below' which defies many of the prevailing Western assumptions about migration and development, and which can only be understood if we consider the full range and complexity of migrant experiences. - CONTENTS: Introduction: Landscapes of opportunity, mobility, and entrepreneurial perspectives / Ute Röschenthaler and Alessandro Jedlowski. - Part one.
