Intersectionality, Class and Migration

This book offers critical analysis of everyday narratives of Iranian middle class migrants who use their social class and careers to "e;fit in"e; with British society.  Based on a series of interviews and participant observations with two cohorts of "e;privileged"e; Iranian migrant women working as doctors, dentists and academics in Britain-groups that are usually absent from studies around migration, marginality and intersectionality-the book applies narrative analysis and intersectionality to critically analyse social class in relation to gender, ethnicity, places and sense of belonging in Britain. As concepts such as "e;Nation,"e; "e;Migrant,"e; "e;Native,"e; "e;Other,"e; "e;Security,"e; and "e;Border"e; have populated public and policy discourse, it is vital to explore migrants' experiences and perceptions of the society in which they live, to answer deceptively simple questions such as ?"e;What does class mean?"e; and "e;How is class translated in the lives of migrants?"e;
