Expatriate offers an in-depth study of the history and politics of the category expatriate. The book works across multiple sites to tell situated stories about the category’s (re)making, contestation and lived experience and shows that migration is a key terrain on which colonial power relations are reproduced, reworked and translated today. -- .
Who are expatriates? How do they differ from other migrants? And why should we care about such distinctions? Expatriate interrogates the contested category of ''the expatriate'' to explore its history and politics, its making and lived experience. Drawing on ethnographic and archival research, the book offers a critical reading of International Human Resource Management literature, explores the work and history of the Expatriate Archive Centre in The Hague, and studies the usage and significance of the category in Kenyan history and present-day ''expat Nairobi''. Doing so, the book traces the figure of the expatriate from the mid-twentieth-century era of decolonisation to today''s heated debates about migration.
