Abstract

Rina Agarwala's book, "The Migration-Development Regime," examines the relationship between emigration and development in India. Agarwala's research is based on extensive archival research and interviews with poor and elite emigrants. She introduces the concept of the migration-development regime (MDR) framework to analyze the historical periods of Indian emigration. Agarwala argues that class-based emigration policies have exacerbated class inequalities in India and explores the labor-migration continuum in each phase of emigration. The book sheds light on the historical roots of emigration in India and challenges the global migration-labor regime. [Extracted from the article]
