Migration, social reproduction, and capitalism: part 1 introduction

This collection of articles explores the interrelationships between migration, social reproduction, and the reproduction of capitalism. Authors aim to shed light on the dynamics in which contemporary regimes of accumulation generate migration as both a response and solution to crises that confront ordinary people in their mundane efforts to meet the material and non-material needs of kin and community. Contributors in this special issue subscribe to the tradition of political economy and Marxism. So, their efforts are dedicated toward addressing how social reproduction and the reproduction of capital are entwined in a dialectical relationship, specifically in this case, through the lens of migration.
