      abstract = {"Migrant Dubai analyzes the everyday lives of labour  migrants in a rapidly developing city-state. Using the  emirate of Dubai as a case study, it shows that even within  highly restrictive mobility regimes, marginalized migrants  find ways to cope with structural inequalities and  quotidian modes of discrimination. It is one of the few  contemporary ethnographic accounts to unpack migrant male  working class experiences and compare them to those of  their female counterparts, who are often domestic or sex  workers. In so doing, this book makes an important  contribution to the study of migration within and to the  Global South, areas much neglected when compared to  research on migration to Europe and North America.  Moreover, it informs our understanding of other globalising  states and has implications for studies of temporary  migrants in other parts of the world. Finally, it raises  important social justice issues in the context of  restrictive migration regimes and the global neoliberal  economy."--},
