Migrant protest : interactive dynamics in precarious mobilizations Migrant protest has proliferated worldwide in the last two decades explicitly posing questions of identity rights and equality in a globalized world. Nonetheless such mobilizations are considered anomalies in social movement studies and political sociology more broadly due to weak interests and a particularly disadvantageous position of outsiders to claim rights connected to citizenship. In an attempt to address this seeming paradox this book explores the interactions and spaces shaping the emergence trajectory and fragmentation of migrant protest in unfavourable contexts of marginalization. Such a perspective unveils both the odds of precarious mobilizations and the ways they can be temporarily overcome. While adopting the encompassing terminology of migrant the book focusses on precarious migrants including both asylum seekers and illegalized migrants Frontmatter Protest and Social Movements Table of Contents List of Abbreviations Acknowledgments Introduction 1.
