"A revelation for digital researchers and a provocation for migration scholars… It introduces an insightful, inspiring, and inviting way of making sense of the messiness without losing hope of changing things."- Nishant Shah, Chinese University of Hong Kong"A must read for everyone who is concerned with questions of human mobility, media and communications and the digital border."- Myria Georgiou, LSE"A much-needed addition to scholarship on mobility, technology, and migration… The book is poised to become a touchstone text."- C.L. Quinan University of MelbourneIn contemporary discussions on migration, digital technology is often seen as a ′smart′ disruptive tool. Bringing efficiencies to management, and safety to migrants. But the reality is always more complex.This book is a comprehensive and impassioned account of the relationship between digital technology and migration.

The affect and emotion of digital migration, from digital intimacy to transnational family life. How histories of pre and early-digital migration help us situate and rethink contemporary research.The realities of researching digital migration, including interviews with leading international researchers.Critical yet hopeful, Koen Leurs opens up the unequal power relations at the heart of digital migration studies, challenging us to imagine more just alternatives.
