Synopsis

This book tells the untold stories of the financial practises of low paid migrants living and working in London. Drawing upon a rich evidence base, it highlights how migrants negotiate the complex financial landscape they encounter and combine both formal and informal ways of 'doing finance'. The book offers an insight into an aspect of migrants lives which is often overlooked yet vital for their broader integration into the societies to which they migrate.

About this title
