Summary/Abstract: Uncertainty frames nearly every aspect of everyday life, even as daily interactions are perceived and experienced as mundane or routine. Within the context of migration, such unpredictability can seem inevitable as people cross borders or are unable to do so. This collection powerfully shows us how the outcomes and destinations of migration are rarely assured. Here, uncertainty is to be expected: strategies enacted with a particular goal can bring about another outcome, anticipated events may not come to pass, crisis might result in stability, assumed trajectories lead to the unknown.
