Abstract
In this book, privileged migration from Europe, as a transnational contextual phenomenon with multifaceted dimensions, has been explored through the concept of white migration. Using Swedish-speaking, first-generation migrant women in southwestern USA, Singapore and southern Spain as basis for analysis, the aim of the book has been to explore how a group of white women use various forms of capital when (re-)installing themselves as migrants in these different social and geographical settings. In this final chapter, I will discuss the impact of an analysis of white migration on the broader field of migration studies.
