Description: Migrant Representations compares twenty-four spoken, written and visual life-stories of migrants from the 1780s to the 2000s. Leese argues that, historically and in the present, first-person migrant stories and outsider investigations create a continuous charged exchange of views where both migrant and observer negotiate position, authority, authenticity, and potential advantage.
