This volume addresses current debates around migration in, from and through Wales. It includes a range of migratory perspectives to better understand the diverse lived experiences of migrants, and the policies, measures and approaches at work across various scales and sectors in Wales that shape their everyday lives. A Welcoming Nation adopts an intersectional approach to explore these experiences, which is central to understanding the multiple and complex ways in which exclusion and marginalisation take place. The volume is not only a book about migration, therefore, but also about the ways in which migratory experiences and status can intersect with other factors – such as age, gender, race and sexuality – providing original analyses of migration in Wales.
