Displaced Labor explores the transnational lives of displaced workers and their local placemaking practices in the global economy. This book offers a unique perspective on the impact of globalization on labor and migration, and the ways in which displaced workers are shaping the social and cultural landscapes of their new homes.

Drawing on ethnographic research in three global cities—London, Los Angeles, and New York—Displaced Labor examines the everyday lives of displaced workers from a variety of backgrounds, including immigrants, refugees, and diasporic communities. The book explores how these workers navigate the challenges of displacement, forge new social ties, and create a sense of belonging in their new homes.

Displaced Labor also examines the ways in which displaced workers are transforming the urban landscapes of their new homes. The book shows how these workers are creating new ethnic enclaves, revitalizing declining neighborhoods, and shaping the cultural and economic life of their cities.

Displaced Labor is a timely and important book that offers a new perspective on the impact of globalization on labor and migration. The book's findings have implications for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the future of work and migration in the global economy.
