"As millions are forced to leave their nations of origin as a result of political, economic, and environmental peril, rising racism and xenophobia have led to increasingly harsh policies. A mass-mediated political circus obscures both histories of migration and longstanding definitions of words for people on the move, fomenting widespread linguistic confusion ... In a world where the differences between 'undocumented migrant' and 'asylum seeker' can mean life or death, words have weighty consequences ... [This book] reframes key words that describe people on the move"--Publisher's website.
