Berghahn Migration and Development Studies Collection

Berghahn Books is proud to be partnering with Knowledge Unlatched to present the Berghahn Migration and Development Studies collection. Every year we will be adding 20 front-list titles to the collection, covering the topics of international migration and movement as well as the social implications of economic and environmental change for communities. As institutions sign up for the collection and pledge their financial support, we are able to fund the cost of making the books available as Open Access.

The collection includes titles from the Forced Migration series as well as the Integration and Conflict Studies and the Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology series, among others.

Library Supporters

Thanks to the support of a number of libraries, Berghahn Books has been able to secure 15 open access titles over the past three years. The number of titles we are able to make open access in the next 3 years is dependent on the number of libraries that participate in the initiative. To pledge support, contact us.
