Migration is deeply entangled with colonialism, not only in the historical emergence of nation-states, sovereignty and mobility but in the ongoing continuation of colonial power relations underpinned by racism and exploitation. This report on the geographies of migration explores this relationship through a focus on postcolonial approaches to migration in geography, and emergent efforts to instil a decolonising agenda into the study of migration.
