1. Temporalities and Migration: Introduction -- 2. Chronotopes of Migration Scholarship: The Challenges of Radical Contemporaneity -- 3. The Timescape of Post-WWII Caribbean Migration to Britain: Non contemporaneity as Challenge and Opportunity -- 4. Time at Sea: Temporal Horizons of Rescue and Its Avoidance in the Central Mediterranean -- 5. Flexible Kinship and Discrepant Temporalities in Chinese Transpacific Migration -- 6. 'Lost Time' - The Experience of Waiting for a Future among Young Somali Migrants en route -- 7. Labour and Population: Migration Pathways to Rural Manitoba Past and Present -- 8. Badocari Temporalities: Perspectives on Time, Bottles, and Economies for Romanian Roma Bottle Collectors in Copenhagen -- 9. Migration and Temporal Dissonance in Canada Philippine Migration -- 10. Temporality, Migration, Reproduction: Cycles, Alignments, and Misalignments in Late Capitalism.
Bringing together a range of illustrative case studies coupled with fresh theoretical insights, this volume is one of the first to address the complexities and contradictions in the relationship between migration, time, and capitalism. While temporal reckoning has long fascinated anthropologists, few studies have sought to confront how capitalism fetishizes time in the production of global inequalities-historically and in the contemporary world. As it explores how the agendas of capitalism condition migration in Europe, North America, and Oceania, this collection also examines temporality as a feature of migrants' experiences to ultimately provide a theoretically robust and ethnographically informed investigation of migration and temporality within a framework defined by the political economy of capitalism. .
