Migration Studies and Colonialism is a long-overdue call to make the analysis of colonialism central to migration studies. Even though contemporary migration is often rooted in histories of colonial expansion, core texts in the field of migration studies, Mayblin and Turner (2021) argue, have rarely mentioned colonialism, postcolonial racism, or decolonization. The authors critically characterize migration scholarship as a “white” field (p. 9), fraught with methodological nationalism for producing research agendas that serve the state's interests and that omit colonialism and race in the analyses. The authors urge migration scholars to recognize how “colonialism is so fundamental to contemporary migrations, mobilities, immobilities, receptions and social dynamics that it is certainly not something that should only be of concern to scholars of color, indigenous, and/or those working in former colonized countries” (2).
