Migrant Dreams

Migrant Dreams – Egyptian Workers in the Gulf States is Samuli Schielke’s vivid story of the dreams that inspire Egyptian workers’ imagination about migration, the good life, and the realities they meet. This beautifully written ethnography is an exceptionally rich account of the imaginaries and experiences of the workers who move back and forth between rural Egypt and the Arab Gulf.

In this AMIS event, with Samuli Schielke himself, you are invited into the laboratory of writing Migrant Dreams, probing how it came about, and to an exploration of how this story pertains to larger issues regarding migration.

Join us for a post-lunch afternoon of dreaming migration in the Middle East.
