Revisiting migrant networks: migrants and their descendants in labour markets

“…By focusing on the kinds of capital circulating between ties, including the dark side of social capital, the book offers insights into power dynamics and the potentially exclusionary dimension of networks. Taking a long term view, across generations, the research in this book shows how migrants and their descendants may mobilise resources to tackle discrimination and enhance their position within particular labour markets. …”
