For over twenty years, the Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship series
has contributed to cross-disciplinary empirical and theoretical debates on
migration processes, serving as a critical forum for and problematising
the main issues around the global movement and circulation of people.
Grounded in both local and global accounts, the Series firstly focuses on
the conceptualisation and dynamics of complex contemporary national
and transnational drivers behind movements and forced displacements.
Secondly, it explores the nexus of migration, diversity and identity,
incorporating considerations of intersectionality, super-diversity, social
polarization and identification processes to examine migration through
the various intersections of racialized identities, ethnicity, class, gender,
age, disability and other oppressions. Thirdly, the Series critically engages
the emerging challenges presented by reconfigured borders and
boundaries: state politicization of migration, sovereignty, security, trans-
border regulations, human trade and ecology, and other imperatives that
transgress geopolitical territorial borders to raise dilemmas about con-
temporary movements and social drivers.

and, in more recent years, at the urban neighbourhood level too (e.g.
Fonseca and McGarrigle 2012; Pastore and Ponzo 2016).
Cities have been praised by some authors as the triumphant ‘greatest
invention’ on earth that makes people richer, smarter, greener, health-
ier and happier (Glaeser 2012), while others place cities at the heart of
worldwide key sociopolitical and geographical conflicts as well as capi-
tal and class struggles (Harvey 2012) or, in contrast, as the cradles for
crucial artistic visions and aesthetically innovative viewpoints (Gualdoni
2014). In addition, cities are explicitly mentioned first in one of the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, concretely in Goal 11,
titled ‘Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and
sustainable’ (UN 2015). However, since ancestral times and in a wide
variety of places, it is possible to hear pros and cons in debates about
sizes regarding human life, organisations and settlements. In addition,
as Eleanor Roosevelt (1958) indicated in her famous speech titled On
Our Hands,1 human rights begin in small places ‘so small that they can-
not be seen on any maps of the world’.
1From “In Our Hands”, speech delivered on the 10th anniversary of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights. See: http://www.un.org/en/globalissues/briefingpapers/humanrights/quotes.

2For instance, in English, the idiom ‘look/feel small’ means to look or feel stupid, embarrassed
or ridiculous (see appendix on methodological elements), while in Catalan language one can find
also an equivalent with opposite meaning: ‘Al pot petit hi ha la bona confitura’, literally meaning
that the good marmalade is in the small pot.
