Featuring works covering a variety of local contexts, and geographical and social trajectories, this topical collection examines dominant positions in migration while diverging from both literature on elitist migrations and middling transnationalism. The contributions delve into how the intersection of social relationships and their procedural dimension impact the notion of privilege in migration, drawing from diverse empirical cases. Departing from a static understanding of privilege as a social attribute, to reintegrate it within the processes of social reproduction or downward mobility, by documenting the long-term trajectories of migration, the contributions focus their interest on the practices and strategies that reframe them. This topical collection also highlights the subjective dimension of social positions in migration, particularly in their advantageous aspects, and sheds light on how migration reshapes social positions in various ways, including within the realms of race and gender. Overall, this topical collection contributes to migration studies by showing that understanding the power dynamics that structure access (or lack thereof) to the world also involves analysing the least constrained movements.
