The problems of ethnicity and migration encapsulate the modern dilemma, not only for those who are on the move, but also for those who remain at home deliberating their existential identity. This volume brings together an international array of scholars to discuss some of the leading questions concerning ethnicity and migration. Roots tell us about origins, identities and the past. Routes refer to peregrinations, diasporas and future paths. This volume incorporates a rich variety of case-studies from all over the world contributed by a group of international scholars from countries as far afield as Spain and India.
