Migration Studies:an anthropological perspective

Roger Ballard

This presentation sets out to explore the distinctive contribution which an anthropological perspective can make to the study of migration, above all by highlighting the crucial importance of the qualitative dimensions of migrants' entrepreneurial strategies. It also argues that the discipline of anthropology itself could place itself much more at the centre of current debates if it placed more explicit emphasis on its capacity to explore the pluralistic consequences of the process ethnic colonization in which migrant workers 'from below' are now actively engaged throughout the Metropolitan world.
