Such migrants are marginalised and depoliticised by debates on immigration policy, and thus there is an urgent need to develop nuanced understanding of these more privileged movements. In many ways, these are the modern-day equivalents of colonial settlers and expatriates, yet the continuities in their migration practices have rarely been considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New Expatriates\u003c\/em\u003e advances our understanding of contemporary mobile professionals by engaging with postcolonial theories of race, culture and identity.
