'Roots Without Ground' offers a timely and insightful analysis of this phenomenon, exploring the critical role of social networks in the lives of these workers. The book delves into how migrants construct new forms of community and social capital far from home, examining the intricate processes of cultural integration and adaptation in the urban landscape. Drawing on extensive sociological research, this monograph illuminates the paradox of being deeply connected through social ties yet fundamentally unmooted from a stable sense of place. It provides a vital contribution to our understanding of contemporary urbanisation, informal labour markets, and social cohesion in the Global South. This essential volume is aimed at researchers and postgraduate students in sociology, migration studies, urban studies, South Asian studies, development studies, and social policy, and will be invaluable for courses on labour, migration, and Indian society.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiography\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n    \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor(s):\u003c\/span\u003e \n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYash Singh Sisodiya is an Indian sociologist and researcher whose work focuses on the intersections of migration, gender, social policy, and environmental sociology.
