Megan Carney's work attempts to change our perspective on the issue of migration. Instead of approaching it as a problem or a crisis, she looks at migration as a site for potential hope and transformation. By centering on the lived experiences of people who perform 'solidarity work' on the island of Lampedusa, Sicily, the author explores the complexities and tensions that emerge from the encounter of different subjects—the migrants on one hand and the Sicilian 'solidarity workers' on the other—but also the opportunities for solidarity and change that emerge from this encounter."––Francesca Degiuli, author of Caring for a Living: Migrant Women, Aging Citizens, and Italian Families
