Migration is not a state of emergency but a basic existential experience of humanity. It
shapes contemporary societies by challenging established orders creating transnational spaces
beyond national hegemonies creating new economies influencing urban and communal ways of life
making inequality and precariousness visible locally and globally. Migration research as a
social science does not narrow the focus to 'the migrants' but investigates the conditions for
living together and shaping life between ethnicization and pluralization discrimination and
empowerment division and participation.The Yearbook Migration and Society repeatedly turns the
prism of narrative anew. The 2020 2021 edition focuses on the topic Beyond Borders.
