Summary:

This open access edited collection provides an interdisciplinary assessment of research about migration on Indigenous lands. Via an assortment of critical reflections from settler colonial Australia, it identifies tensions between colonialism and Indigenous sovereignty as an increasingly salient topic of analysis within migration research. It poses challenges to migration research that takes place on Indigenous lands, reflects on the methodological and theoretical issues at play when studying migration in settler colonial Australia, and outlines potential pathways for ethical migration research agendas that genuinely engage with Indigenous knowledges and scholarship. The book also compares and synthesizes where studies of settler colonialism and migration have intersected and contributing authors profile how migration, colonialism and Indigenous sovereignties intersect in multicultural Australia’s pasts and presents. At its core, the volume challenges migration studies, from Australian shores, to reimagine itself. In doing so, questions related to migration are altered and the basis of discussion around colonial legacies, multiculturalism, integration and diversity is recast. By providing nuanced theoretical, historical, and reflective case studies from a rage of disciplinary approaches, the volume will be a great resource to students, academics in migration and refugee studies, Indigenous scholars, activists, as well as policymakers in settler colonial societies.
