The study of international migration and ethnic relations is rapidly expanding. This authoritative book provides an expertly integrated overview of international migration from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives.
The authors ask provocative new questions such as the counterintuitive, why do people not migrate? They also address old questions in fresh ways and in accessible language. Does migration from less developed countries stimulate or obstruct development? Does development reduce or increase the disadvantages of migration? What are the dynamics of a migration process? Geography, economics, political science, social anthropology, and sociology all inform this book, which is certain to become an established text in migration studies.
